I have a 2016 450L that I have had for just over 2 years. Other than the normal crap (suspension, brakes) it has not had any issues. I use it mainly for ice fishing, but also take it in the mud sometimes. Recently we had a big snow storm that left the local lakes with a bunch of snow and slush. Due to a poor decision, I stranded my ice shanty on a lake, and had to buy a plow for the wheeler. It hated its life plowing 1.5 miles of road on a lake but it did it. In the process is got caked with 500lb of slush and ice when temps were 10 or lower. After a struggle to thaw it, we took it out. I have never had any starting issues, and then after getting on the lake and using it all day, I parked it and shut it off for 5 minutes, came back and the dash cluster wouldnt come on, headlights wouldnt come on, BUT it would crank, as it cranked lights on dash and headlights would light up with it in rhythm, but no fire. Seemed like spark was MIA. left it for a few minutes grabbed some gas as she was a little low, turned key, lights etc all work fires right up. Then the other day out again, I notice a new light. A green light is not illuminated on the lower right of the gauge cluster, never been there before. But with it the cluster backlight isnt working at all. Wheeler ran fine all day, then the next day I drove it from my shanty about 300 yds, shut it off, and it again would not start back up. This time it had gas. left it for a few minutes and turned the key and it comes right on when I press the start button.
I have seen things about dash clusters getting wet, call BRP they refused to talk said I needed to take it to a dealer. Called dealer they have supposedly never heard of anything like this. Can anyone on here explain what I am experiencing? Seems like something with the gauges is stopping it from firing, but everything I have found says with no gauges it should fire. It has been wet, but never under water, or even close, deepest thing its ever seen is 10 inches of mud, but the slush that was caked on was pretty severe and was everywhere.
