I have TWO 2018 skikoo 850's identical. Shot failed a month out of warranty on one. SWAP the shot off the chain case on the working sled to see if the module has failed? Any easier way to trouble shoot? If works buy a used module?

Doo had some issues with some ultra-capacitors.
I also thought there was an issue with some sleds with software the was fixed with a re-flash on some sleds.

Yeah, there was an update on the 18's equipped with shot. Some techs (including mine) seemed to fumble the update and made the problem worse. Probably worth spending an hour of shop time at a competent shop to check on available updates

Dealers are a day away.

Swap SHOT module and DOES NOT work software issue. Swap does work capacitor issue. If it is the capacitor where is it? The big blue one? Or is it inside the shot module on the chain case?
