Hydra Problems

I have the Hydra tuner in my 2002 F250 no problems with it until now. This morning started my truck for work, and put it into a high idle to warm up for a few min. Now I cant get it out of it, any ideas?

Maybe controller went bad or came loose?
Does it light up?
Do the numbers change on the controller or is it stuck?
“00” and a key cycle will put it into bypass mode.

You can always pull the chip and revert to stock. Make sure the keys are out of the ignition before moving the chip around.

Controller lights up its stuck on a number lets say 1 and it won't change from that. I can pull the chip and see what it does.

Yep I'd go for the tech support bread and butter fix all. Turn it off, then back on again. In this case, disconnect the batteries for a bit then hook'em back up.
