I don't remember that error. I'll try my board tonight ... since it is not inside a car right now

I tried pressing on the picket to try to get good connections on the programming headers but that didn't do anything.

I'll inspect my solder joints. It looks to me like it is a straight shot from the programming header to the dsPIC. Doesn't seem like a whole lot to go wrong.

I don't need the peripherals like throttle or encoder connected for programming, do I? the only connections I have to the board are power from a DC 24v supply, and the PICkit3.
I don't remember having any peripherals connected when I'm programming.

I don't really want to re-program my board, but I think I can go through the motions and tell it not to program at the end.

I may turn on the phone and record what I do so that I will remember next time I hope it happens tonight ... but it may be sometime during the weekend.

I do remember that every time I have verified the program between chip and hex file it has failed. That had me confused for a long time.
