Default Rubicon Electrical system

Unfortunately the damn thing came off the trailer. Just put new racks, fenders, rear end etc. Got it all put back together and the meter, up and down ESP switch, and drive select switch will not work. I need help. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

I need help please

Check your connections and make sure they are not dirty If they are not do a code flash test make sure bike is in nuetral and hold in the up and down shift buttons turn the ignition on and let go the press the up down shift button again and hold for 2 seconds display should start flashing it will flash 1 to 12 times pause then flash 1 to 12 times again count the number of flashes after the pause that is the code you are flashing then check with your local dealer and ask what the code you are flashing means.

Check your battery connections and then make sure battery is charged enough if it is not it will cause the screen not to come on

I did have a dead batttery but charged it and it will fire the engine in no time. Do you still think it may be low? Also the drive select switch and the ESP will not work. Thanks for your help

I charged the batt all night and it still will not display anything. I am gonna take the batt cables off and see how that works and then take fenders back off and check wiring harness unless anybody has better feedback

Sounds like a disconnected connector or fuse blown. Check all the fuses, and all the connections that you touched.
When you say it came off the trailer...were you moving..like 60mph down the highway?
If the display took a good hit, it could be toast.
