I have a 2012 Vector LTX. Last time riding in the U.P. the display had moisture in it. When I got home I put the sled in my heated garage and took the cowl apart. I noticed the rubber boot over the wiring harness in the back of pod was pulled away. I disconnected the display and brought it in the house to dry. I pulled the screws out to open the unit and let it dry. After a couple of days, I put the unit back together and installed in the sled with the rubber boot now in place. When I started the sled, the display wouldn't come on. The only thing that worked was the high beam light indicator. I took the display apart again to make sure nothing was disconnected inside. All looked good. Any ideas? I replaced fuses, tested relays, swapped relays, etc.
I am at a loss. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
 
if some of the indicators are working then i would guess corrosion on some of the pins either on the back of the pod or the wiring harness that plugs into it, get some electrical contact cleaner and spray out both parts followed by some shots of compressed air, if that doesnt work then you either broke something when you took it apart or it got water in it and shes done. Next time dont take stuff like that apart, throw it in a bag of rice over night instead
 
Double check the Auto Link fuses under the airbox. There's two of them held onto the battery tray with the starter solenoid. Shine a flashlight through the clear tops and make sure the fuse link is not burned out. Here's what they look like -

Thanks for the advice. Looking into it this morning. I didn't think about the rice. Good point.
