There isn’t a 98 XP 800. Last two digits of the vin is the year.

Without the lanyard if you push the start stop button do the gauges come on and stay on for about 30 seconds?

Sorry meant 97 but yes that does happen !

It is going to be hard to diagnose without a functioning beeper but it has me leaning towards a bad DESS post.

when I Put the dess key on sometimes you can just barely hear it beep

I would replace it as that’s also your overheat alarm. I buy them directly from Floyd Bell they are $21 but they charge $20 in shipping too so that sucks but they are oem.

Ok will look into that but first I'd like to get it running lol I just took the dess post out And found some terrible wiring job so it's been replaced by someone before

Well, that’s progress.
