Does it have the factory programmed saved to revert it back and see if the tune is the problem?

Does anything work with the key on or off like brake lights, head lights, fuel pump noise?

lights and most of the gauges are working, had a mechanic buddy come by and we jumped it across the fuse box so it will run just will not crank, yes i reloaded factory saved program. but there is definitely some screw up no a/c, no temp readings, very sluggish, guess we'll go to the stealership and pay out the nose to get a reboot. then i will retry the sctx4 again. seems the installing mechanic did not check for updates before he loaded the sctx4.

I had a similar problem with my Livewire,I disconnected the batteries and turned on the headlights for 15 min and hooked it back up and it rebooted itself. Try it out and get back to us
