Fault Code 12 is the Crankshaft Position Sensor...Check your Clutch Side, where the speedo cable is, chances are, you either clipped a wire, or somerthing came loose right there...right where the jack shaft hits the clutch side...if you havent gotten the wet left boot fix, this pic shows the bulletin (read free part) installed, and for whatever reason, this piece of metal solves it...

The wiring for the sensor runs behind the bulkhead....even if you get a code 12 it will turn over just no run....had this happen latley after I pulled an engine and one of the pins pushed out causing it not to connect but mine would spin over.

it is something in there IMHO...check the wires to see if they are pinched or grounding out...if that assembly was not installed correctly it will send that code off...

a broken or disconnected speedo has nothing to do with a code 12, it won't cause a motor not to turn over. charge your battery and check your connections on the battery and starter relay.

First weekend I had my nytro, second morning it wouldn't start, just clicked and showed code 12. It was one of the relays in the front of the sled. Definately check batt. voltage to eliminate the obvious first.

can't remember which one for sure as the dealer fixed it, he gave me a spare for my toolkit though. Your local dealer should know. hope this helps.
