This morning as I was hooking everything up to head to the lake ice fishing, I started up my 2016 650 and let it run for a bit. First to make sure it was going to start (-6F) and to give it a little heat before getting to the lake. Finished strapping it down and headed off to the lake. Once I got there, turned the key and the dash didn’t light up and the fuel pump didn’t start up. Hit the start button and a bunch of different lights on the dash would flash and the engine turned over but no start. Thought maybe dead battery but the headlights were bright as can be. Right before giving up I figured I would try removing my tie down strap that went from my front bumper to the trailer. As soon as I removed the tension from it you could hear the fuel pump do it’s initial start and all the dash lights illuminated. I tried to replicate it when I got home but it fired right up. Not sure if I had the strap pulled as tight as I did in the morning.

So to make a long story short, my question is is there a sensor that kills everything off if the front end is pulled down to tight?
