As much as I hate to say it .... But I think one of your mods may be the culprit....... Of particular interest would be your hids.
Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

I am believing that is the culprit as well. I think the originals will go in. They went ahead and put the new DPS in today as well.
Boy, I really did like those HIDs. I drive to work at night on a very dark road. They were soooo bright it was awesome.

There are certain HID ballasts that put out higher levels of EMF that have a negative effect on the electrical system of the Spyder. I assume that Firefly knew she had the HID set up on her old Spyder, and then transferred them to her new one. The BRP HIDs, and the ESI Cycle Products ones, are known to work without any issues, while others can be suspect.

Various HID ballasts have caused similar intermittent problems on Spyders----- Most have had great luck with units from ESI.......
