Code 88: Short or open circuit in reverse indicator switch. If you don't already know , thats what code 88 means . Sounds like a wire is grounded out . Does it crank over but no fire ?

doesnt crank but it turns. Before i stoped my sled last time ibacked it up to park it then i put it back in foward possition. So it doesnt seem like it could be a reverse problem?

Did you 'nudge' it forward to make sure it was all the way in before you shut it off? I usually do. Maybe you could move it around a little? Try messin with the reverse a little?

UPDATE
brought it to the dealer this morning, they told me my starter is finish, this caused to show up code 88, 400$ something later for the starter and this doesnt count labor which is 80$ an hour.
Hope this is the last time i get problem with this sled!!! Can get really expensive easily

Demand the old starter returned to you.It probably is just spun from loose bolts and either way some good parts are probably in there.

How many shop hours is a starter change? ouch
Should be a hr or two at most if they know how to remove front end.I bet that starter was turning backwards and could be fixed with a little Loctite.

Glad you talked me in to doing mine! With loctite, it will be good, right?....
Yes its a good fix.No worries.

1 hour to find problem, 1 and a half hour to change starter, came up to 710$, they told me the starter didnt work no more because of something with the bolts, and yes i kept it for spare parts
