go out to ride then it just dies out of no where. it varies on when it dies bc i can ride for 30 mins then it shuts off and turns back on then shut offs and then it just wont even read the key. its a seadoo GTX 2002. sometimes i can go the whole day without it messing up. any help on what u guys think it could be or to check would be nice, thanks

dietwater5, they sound like they are loose, clean em up, tighten em and you should be OK.

dietwater5, theyre the metal parts where the wires meet the battery. They can get corroded, or loose, giving you a bad connection

battery terminals, maybe a bad main computer?...can you view anything on your control center when you hit a button? or it all together stays off?

i know on older seadoos the key can get coroded and not read right. Try and clean any corrosion off the key.

ya we have 2 keys bc thats what my friend thought it was but i guess it isnt bc we tried both keys. when i put the key in sometimes after its died the computer turns on normal and goes then dies. then after a while it just stops beeping or whateber when u put the key in and the computer doesnt turn on. i asked the people at a shop and he said it could be a computer......and 2 weeks of work they are backed up on!! so i dont want to take it i i dont have to bc i only have like 3 more weeks. thank you guys though ill try it out and let you know how it goes. peace

Mine did the same thing after about a year of having it. You have to bring it in to get fixed. Its a bad sensor and its going to cost around $200.00 to fix, sorry!
