DID YOU LET YOUR BATTERY RUN DOWN.........THEN JUMP STARTED IT...NOW IT'S CHARGED AND GOOD?

REGARDLESS..........UNDO THE NEGATIVE CABLE FROM THE BATTERY........AFTER A FEW MINUTES, HOOK IT BACK UP........THIS MAY RESET THE COMPUTER (THAT WAS STILL SENSING LOW VOLTS)

EVEN IF THIS IS NOT THE FIX.....NUTHIN' GOT HURT....NO MONEY SPENT!

LET ME KNOW IF THIS WORKED
