Electrical Problem
Hello, I am searching to see if anyone has anything similar happen. I was coming down a steep hill and hit the OD off button. Immediately, all the guages on the dash turned off, and the engine went into idle. I had no control over the throttle, and had to coast the rest of the way into town. Any ideas?

There was an earlier post that said a similar problem was cause by the wiring harness for the OD off button mounted on the turn signal lever. The wire runs through the lever, and makes a tight, sharp turn where it exits. working the turn signal eventually wears through the insulation, causing a short. the new turn lever assembly has more slack in the wire, so this shouldn't happen again.
