Re: Sidecar

We had a similar situation last year also. The sidecar just stopped working at an event. We swapped it out and everything started working again. Once we had time, we opened it up and found one of the components had exploded. It must have gotten some metal shavings inside of it and shorted it out.

My suggestion is to blow it out like mentioned earlier, and open it up to see if any components have been damaged. If you find any damage, replace it.
