    I cannot get my 1997 Challenger 1800 to Fire on either engine, The bilge light stays on the dash and the DESS will not beep (Chirp) ready nor will the Gas gauge show life. The motors will turnover with DESS in place but I cannot get it to fire. ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS, I'm about to lose it...

    97 gtx no beeps or spark

    dess / mpem info

    I just need some clarification of what runs on dess/mpem (and what would need reprogramming) by swapping out. In the front box of my 96 gtx it has mpem, rectifier, and starter relay. So i know the relay and rectifier should not have any impact if i was to swap those. Dess key?, Dess key...

    Sea-Doo Dealer Isn't Always A Dealer?

    So, I can get a spare DESS for my Speedster at a Sea-Doo boat dealer, but not at a Sea-Doo PWC only dealer? How does that make sense?
