Personally I would be a little worried about buying one off of Ebay or market place. Never know for sure and that the brains of the Slingshot. If you get a bad one from a dealer of a known vendor (DDM) you will have a recourse for a replacement. The 2015 & 2016 had a headlight problem that caused some recalls. don't think there was a problem with the 2017...check fuses.
I have contacted Dave. I’m hoping he can give me some guidance. Thanks!
Check on E-Bay for the ECM, you just may find one.
there is one from a 2016 and 2019. Mine is a S both listed are from a SL. The unit I borrowed was an SL and it started the bike, but there was a lamp error light on the dash and the headlights wouldn’t come on. Not sure if that’s the reason or I have another issue with the lights
Well it’s definitely the ECM. Swapped out a buddies ECM and it cranks right up. Anyone know where to find or get one repaired?
they don’t want to. Said they didn’t have the resources.
lowbud all the ECM's are the same up until the Polaris engine. There may be a little difference in the programing each year but they are inter changeable. If you know someone close by with a 2015 to 2019 see if they will let you swap the ECM to see if that is the problem. It will also show the codes if it cranks up. Not the old codes but any new ones that might come up. I just sold my back-up so I cannot help you on that.
I’ll have to see if I can find someone.

They can't or DON'T want to. If it is not running you need to push or use a wench to pull it onto a trailer. Is the Slingshot still under warrantee? I had to load mine on my trailer last fall --- no start --- we gently used a come-a-long and had no problem. 7 x 14 open trailer.
What year model is it?
2017
Where are you located? We might be able to find you a little Help.

I’m at a loss. I think I may have fried the ECM. Called my dealer and they aren’t able to pick up the non running machine. Ugh!
I checked all the fuses last night. All are good. I also checked voltages and got 13+. When I turn the key on the lights come on, the gages do their self test, but no fuel pump noise nor clicks when you push the button. I am at a loss. I will try reseating all the ECU connectors but I can't see how that would help as I had it started last week. I was charging the battery when it went totally dead and would no longer charge. I put the charger on boost to start the car and that's when everything went south. I was using the alternator method to start it... Could I have fried the ECU or is there another fuseable link somewhere that may have blown. I don't think the alternator cap did as it's got power to the alternator.
Battery is new. I looked at the fuse when I installed the battery. Looks ok. Again lights and everything work, dash lights come on, button turnes red. But absolutely nothing happens when you press it.
I've seen a couple old threads here and forum suggested to create another vs replying to a yr old one.. Anyway.. Machine has been sitting for a while and battery was dead. tried to revive it, but was unsuccessful. Replaced the battery and when I turn the key on, dash lights up, button lights up, but no crank. I saw in another post about hearing the fuel pump run for a couple seconds when you turn the key on.. I don't hear mine. No noises at all. I didn't have a test light, will pick one up tomorrow to check the fuses, but wanted to see if anyone has any other ideas.. I had it running a few weeks ago by jumping it, but even now trying to jump it, I get nothing... No fuel pump, no clicks, no nothing..
