WNY had 1.5 ft of new snow to ride Sun morning. I was out in it before most anyone else (8 am) - did miles of fresh deep snow; everthing was packed with powder. THEN - beep-beep-beep .. I could hear the reverse warning buzzer when I slowed down. I stopped the sled, and started checking things -- everthing seemed fine & when I pulled the Reverse lever the beeping stopped.
This repeated itself for hours. Big snow drifts (yahoo!
) -- Beep beep beep - 
- stop & pull reverse lever until beeping stoped
Appearently some switch was packed shut with snow ..
Has anyone else had this happen - and is there an easy way to prevent it?

Unplug the wire to the beeper.

when ever you get snow under the hood it gets on the little sensor the reverse hits and freezes it on no big deal Unplug the wire to the beeper ditto

Mine did the same thing this past weekend for the first time. I was blazing trail through 12+ inches of fresh powder.
Anyone try to water proof that switch ?

Leave the beeper plugged in or one day you'll probably launch yourself full power in reverse and might hurt/kill someone/yourself and/or damage something expensive. Grease everything in there and snow won't stick.

I have the same probem with the reverse beeper but mine seems to be at half volume lol i think that greasing it might be worth a try

I just lived with beeping for a day -- has not happened since then. I suspect it all melted out.
I was hoping for a simple answer -- and now I have two to choose from: 1) unplug it, and 2) grease everything.
