Sorry dude. It's not that complicated of a system. Have to keep a cool head and check even the stuff that would seem to be simple and a over site. If it worked before then it should run again. Not trying to sound trite. Just have to check the simple stuff too. We often make things harder than they are.

Okay back to square one. You took the battery out to do something else. Again check connections and even better make sure that none of the lugs are broken or at least hanging on. I can't see it to be anything else.

I had a similar issue too. It was the battery, unless it is brand new, I would replace it.

So does the silence mean that you found the problem?
