Both engines quit at the same time, DESS emits 1 Long beep when try to restart, this happened several times to me yesterday, after 10 secs or so both engines would restart no problem

It is almost like a switch is shut off, no sputtering just nothing.

when I try to restart them 1 long beep comes from the DESS after 10Sec or so they both fire right up, then the process repeats after a variable amount of time, could be 20 sec or 20 minutes could be at idle or at wide open throttle


I have a 2001 Challenger 14 with the 717 engines

Thanks

I have a 2000 Challenger 14 and it does exactly the same.....just stops - sometimes when turning, sometimes when going straight. Is it likely that the key is just a little stretched and coming off the post?

Another year gone and this was becoming more regular. I thought is was the key so got hold of my spare (a lot more work to find it than I had expected) but that didn't help. Had a mate take out the DESS post and had the dealer quote on a new one - but that was a couple of hundred dollars. got hold of the specs and put a multimeter on it, was way off the expected readings he so pulled it apart and fixed what seemed to be a dry solder joint...

All fixed now - hasn't cut out since!
