800 switchback 2010 ECU fail what do I do now ? Burn it? Revive it? Any help would be great. Full story below.
Hello thanks for any help on this. I lived back in Indiana where I bought the sled ran great for the 700 miles I put on it back there, kinda sat last winter since there was no snow there, went on one trip w it once. Then this year I moved to crested butte Colorado kinda a last min decision. Even though its not made for out here I've taken it out 4 times was great the first 2 trips I get stuck but I get out, even with a ripsaw track. Anyway the 3rd time out we had some fresh snow, it was a blast jumpin on trails to get momentum then peelin off into some powder and flyin off some kicker. Mid way through the day the little battery symbol starts flashing and the battery meter starts dropping till it becomes dead and the dash all shuts down(I knw it doesn't have a battery but that's what it does) Runs a little funny bogs here and there but still would run. If u turned it off let it sit and restarted it, it was fine for another couple miles and would do it again. Made it home and let it sit for a week hoping something got wet or just some random problem (I was dreaming). Took it out 3 days ago same thing happened. Took it to a shop yesterday they did test and said the ECU was not responding and was bad ?? So do I buy a new ecu do I sell the dam thing even though I still owe 5 G's on it?, trade it in?, I love the sled, was about to set it up for the mountains but am now looking at spending the money on fixing the dam thing. What do I do? If I fix it is it just goin to happen all over or will it hold up?:wall:
