TVS Jupiter 125's wiring changed in warranty after scooter left unused

The wiring harness kit was covered under warranty terms, and I had to pay only the labor charge Rs.708.

There is a problem with my Scooter.

The scooter was idle for a week and after that on Monday (18th Nov), morning I tried to start the scooter, but it's dead. When I inserted the key and tried to ignite, but found no display on the dial and the start button also dead.

Tried to kick-start - no good. I called FNG guy, who came and towed the scooter to his garage. I recommended changing the battery since the scooter is almost 3 years old.

Once the new battery was installed, the scooter started and rode the scooter for about half a kilometer and the vehicle stopped and display went dead again. I called the garage guy, who came and towed the scooter again to the garage.

They wanted to check all the wiring and fuses, for which they asked some time, so I left the scooter for overnight. Next day when I checked they said the Sensor board might have to be changed which may not be available locally hence recommended to take the scooter to TVS service center itself.

Accordingly, I spoke to the TVS service executive who asked me either to drop the scooter to their place or if they want to arrange pick up then it may take a day. So, I asked the garage boys to drop the scooter to the TVS, for which I agreed to pay something towards their charges.

The Scooter was given to TVS ASS yesterday noontime, but they said they are fully occupied with service vehicles and wanted a day to check my vehicle. I called them just now, but they still not able to find the fault yet.

What could be the problem - any guess?

Update

After waiting 8 days, today the local Service center received the wiring harness kit and the scooter was ready to pick up at 3pm today.

As of now, it is working fine.

The wiring harness kit was covered under warranty terms, and I had to pay only the labor charge Rs.708 (Rs.600 + 108 taxes). They also did a water service after changing the wiring kit.
