I took my 800 to the shop the other day cuz I thought the ignition was bad, sometimes I would turn the key on and the display would flash on and go out then I would have to work the key back and forth several times to finally get power back. The dealership changed the ignition out but it still done the same thing. Come to find out I had put too much dielectric grease on one of the relays in the fuse box causing it to short out somehow which ended up costing me $107 for one hour of labor and a relay. I had no idea there was such a thing as too much dielectric grease.
