Out riding the other day with my son and we did a 180, and then the ski just went dead. upon investigation, the grey box (ebox?) was dislodged and was bouncing around. A couple cables came unplugged and I was able to plug them back in, yet still nothing happened when I hit the red button to start. wiggled the Dess key and unplugged and plugged back in. still nothing. Checked the 3 fuses in the ebox and the fuses in the coil area. All fuses were good. I took the box out, thinking I need fried something in the MPEM. I put it back in just to check one more time. when i plugged the plug into the starter and put the key on the post, it beeped once, but doesn't start. I'm not very good at troubleshooting electrical. One other piece of information, prior to this incident, we tipped the ski over to see if there was some weeds underneath and the starter went on it's own.

Looking for some help Please.
 
I'd inspect the wiring from the dess post. Especially if that was one of the plugs that was pulled on. 1 beep I think is saying that the MPEM doesn't recognize the lanyard.
