I remember seeing something similar, but can't remember fix.. Might have been low / wrong oil.. Maybe bad sensor.. Loose connection? maybe bad board.. Might want to check fuses.. Could be a sticky reg.. might be out of gas.. I have it on good authority 'The knees are not always the first to go'.. Good Luck.
