Great tech tips buddy you know your way around a sled. It’s all really good stuff Thanks Buddy. 👍👍👍👍

my 2012 skidoo 600 tec sounded like that, changed ecm, tps, gas sensor, still sounded bad like urs then i plugged off the rave valve sensor and it started very well, then changed rave valve sensor/clip thing and now it runs and goes like a dream :)

Thank you for saving me hours of work

Once again, amazing content. Thank you!

That was awesome and understandable and actually u were 100% rt on my sled to ty

very well done .....thank u👍

Cool. Good to know before I have issues.

Thanks! Helped me trouble shoot my 16 xm.

Thanks for this video. Appreciate you taking the time to make these vids. I dont have a tester (can you link that one you have?) but hope you can help with my issue. '15 800r etec is new to me and has been starting fine. It's been below zero fahrenheit the last couple days and this issue just started in that time so wondering if its related to temps. Anyway the screwdriver trick (thanks for that) started the sled. Whats interesting is that if I run it, then turn it off to do a gas fill up or something it will start after. However if I let it sit for more time (30 mins or moreish) it wont start and I'll have to jump it again. It sits on a trickle charger most of the time so battery is full. Any thoughts? I swapped both fuses too and issue persists.

Great video. Thank you!

Same problem on my 2012 800 looks like the same sled. Thought is was the relay so I replaced it and still nothing at the start button. Fires up when I cross it so I will follow your steps and we will see. Thanks for the tips!!

Because it's a Skidoo.

I have a 2015 grand touring 900 ace le I got to switch it to reverse and get 3 beeps and says rev fail. Think it’s a relay issue ?

HELP! I'm new to sledding and bought a used Ski Doo 2008 MXZ X 800r. Having issues with hand grip warmers....at idle, I turn the switch on and the grips heat up right away (shows on the display) then shuts off approx 15-30 seconds but still showing ON on the display. Took it out Friday and ran it up and down the trail at high RMP with same result. If I flip the switch off then back on, it does the same thing. Also, the thumb warmer does the same thing. Thanks!

Very helpful video, I don’t have switch power but everything else’s test out. I jumped my fuses but still had and issue. Any ideas on what else it could be?

Hey Bobby, and ohters I have a 2012 GSX SE 1200 with the same exact symptoms. It has been to the dealer 2X where they changed out the battery and then the battery ground wires do to corrosion IF I do the solenoid screwdriver post connections, It will try to fire but fuel pump etc is not operational by doing this so it will not start but turns over. I have swapped the 2 relays with known working ones (identical sled) as well as start button fuse and main fuse with same result. ***The only way I have had any success in getting it to run is tipping on its side and letting it fall, or picking it up from rear bumper and dropping it a few times.*** Once started, it will run as normal (even go into reverse) until you shut it down again. Looking to see what your thoughts are. My next task I think is to look at the wiring at the starter motor itself (Thinking something is loose where it starts if you beat it up) Thoughts?? Thanks for your time. And keep up the great videos

how (what type of wire) and where would i ground my solenoid? When you say at the end of your video you jumped the fuse what did you do. I can't see in the video what you had done. Thanks

what do you recommend looking at after finding there's no power on pin #3 on the harness side?

12 GSX are the handle bar control switches a common failure? I m having the same issue ,start is intermittent ,reverse works fine.

So start button and reverse not working. I jumped the solenoid, it started the snowmobile. So if my solenoid is no good it won't allow my RER to work as well as start button?

man I wish it were this easy on this 2013 rev xu 600. I did the screw driver trick on the solenoid but no spark, used the handle bar start button but there's a super weak connectivity and barely spits out the starter. a few other wrench savy guys had looked at it and tried adding a ground wire to see if any change. nada. all new fuses, a new solenoid, new electric starter, no spark. what else could this mean? any input would be greatly appreciated.

@Bobby Rebussini hi there I'm having the same issue, only starts when I bypass the solenoid with a screwdriver. I bought a new solenoid and still doesn't start. I have power coming from the plug that goes into the solenoid. My button works though because it goes into reverse no problem. What did you do at the end when you took the fuse out? Did you just replace it and that was it? Could it be a I got a defective solenoid? Odds are slim but that's all I can think of Thanks

Do you know where is the fuse box in this skidoo? can't find mine on my mxx 2010 etec 600 adrenaline

how many times are you gonna fondle the wires

Similar problem with my 2012 TNT 600 Etec, but it’s the 30A that keeps blowing. Seems to be related to the combination of accessories that I’m using. Hand grips heat ok, but with hand, thumb, and shield all on, fuse will blow. Seems like a 12v short somewhere...any ideas?

my 2003 skidoo bomadier 600 mxz 007 wont start with the electric start and pull start is broke and dosnt start when i jump the solenoid

I’m having the exact same issue I took the 5ap fuse out but still nothing what does this mean? and when I take a screwdriver and put it on the two screws on the relay if fires right up

My wires r so tight u can tell someone had fix this before

Any idea for an 05 GSX 600 SDI not going into reverse? Estart works fine. Run fines. Hit the rer button and the engine dies. Estart continues to work fine. Just seems to be a reverse problem

Bro mine gets stuck in reverse. It goes right into reverse but then I have to shut the sled down to get it in forward. It shuts down but comes back on in reverse. I’m lost

My etec has a issues similar to this every 10 to 15 times it doesn't work then i hit the control and it works any idea whats wrong

2015 MXZ pull start with reverse. Reverse not working

Damn need help my skidoo tundra 600 efi key start switch/reverse doesn’t work it was only start when I jump start the solenoid and all the fuses/solenoid are good I tryed changing the key switch off a 550 tundra still didn’t wanna start im not sure what’s wrong wit it started happening last week it’s close to 3K kms

See that's my problem not the fuse it's the wires go to the sel

I'm assuming that if I have no continuity from my switch that means my switch is fucked 🤔

Very helpful but I would just use the recoil

Why would you buy an electric start? Just one more thing to go wrong especially since they appear to have added compression bypass to make them super easy to start. My 82 year old twig thin father starts his own sled with a pull cord.

If you know what it means why the hell do you say "what does that mean"

Do you know what your even doing ?
