2009 RXT is255 will crank but have no electronics

I'm having a problem that I can't wrap my head around. I can put the key on the ski and it will not beep nor will the display come on but it will crank. I have no electronics on the ski working. I have checked all the fuses and can't find a problem. I have buds software and have hooked it up but it doesn't register the ski. Can anyone help me with this or have any suggestions?

How new is the battery? A low battery can do weird stuff. Check your cables going to your gauges to make sure they didn’t get popped loose.

Brand new fully charged battery and I have checked all the cables and connections. Its almost like the computer has quit which doesn't make sense considering it cranks.

To confirm, it cranks but does not start, yes?

The MPEM does many things, one of which is to control the starting system. The start button gets it power from the MPEM. Once the START button is pressed, the power goes back to the MPEM. Then the MPEM sends the signal to the solenoid..

So this part of the MPEM could be good as it really has little to do with the rest of the MPEM.

You need to go over all of the connections VERY well as the MPEM. Checking for voltage and continuity.

Either the MPEM is partially bad, or it is not receiving power where it needs to be getting it.

I wonder if it's not the TOPS switch, tip over protection switch. They seem to fail occasionally.
