As you can see from the pic, my sled got wet last year. I changed the oil many times, cleaned everything I could get at, put dielectric grease in any connection I could find. Rode almost 1000 miles last year had frozen relays replaced all 4 but everything did work as it should. Now on my first ride this year I can't seem to toggle through the modes. The thumb warmer works up and down. I can toggle to shock and hand warmers but it always switches back to thumb. I have the Yamaheater, could this be an issus. I don't think that got wet. ECU, switch?Any ideas where to begin. From searching the site, if the shock wires were broken sounds like the symbol wouldn't show.
Thanks for your ideas.
 
yes if shock wires r broke, shock solinoide bad or fuse blown it wont show shock on dash, easy check, 2 wire white plug by rev lever, unplug and check with meter going down to skid should have 4-5 ohms, did u check , clean, dry ecu plugs to after swim!!
 
Well, I replaced the CDI with a used one. Same issue. Could this be in the mode button on the dash? The wires to the shock are fine. Maybe ground issues. I've heard of weird problems with the stater, but even with the machine off things still act up.
 
I would check and delete the ground blocks. In your pic looks like you would have got the large blocks wet.
It could also be your dash itself.
 
test wire from plug at rev lever to ecu plug for continety, can remember what wire it is but is easy to find on the sleds wiring scematic, i have not been able to find anyone having problems with the mode button, as i thought that was my problem 2 , just to clarify your shoch icon comes up on dash or no
 
Well I looked at 6 ground blocks. I think that's all of them. They all looked great. does anyone know if the gauge cluster is the brains behind these functions or it it in the CDI?
 
mabe no connection in rocker switch itself ( hand warmer swich) or wiring on riser to plug so dash is not recognizing its there, wonder if swich comes apart and check clean contacts
