Take every electrical connection apart and dry it out, I would’ve done that before I tried to start it.

Make sure the display is dry first. Then check connections, as stated. use dielectric to reassemble. I'm guessing it worked at first and then something shorted out inside as you gave it a few minutes...willing to bet it has exposed components/leads.

Do the rice in bag trick, and check any electrical connections. There may just be corrosion causing one small connection not to work. A common thing also would be a capacitor could have shorted out and popped, you can tell that by the bulging top of it. Good luck :)

I pulled one out of a lake a few years ago. Was down there for two weeks as we had to wait for more ice so we could walk out. Dumped some gold down the jugs and turned it over real slow.. set it by the wood stove for twelve hours pulled every connection cleaned and a dab of di grease.. I had the guy set his display on a heater vent in his house for a day or so.. biggest problem was the recoil was full of sand and the seat.. sled still runs today..

Can you borrow a display, make sure its not the sled? Only other thing I can think of.

Drowned my -11 pro a long time ago in a river. Had it running within 5 hours but without display. Left display on a hot water tank over night and after ridning the sled to give it a warmup, left it in enclosed with a heater fan over night.

Sled never missed a beat after. Has me scratching my head on this whole moisture in relay contacts..

Rice bag was a neat trick!
