Default 2003 Rincon problem

I went thru a little water today and now it will not start. When I hit the starter the display goes blank.

If I take the seat off and there are 2 wires next to the fuse box if I play with them the display will come back on but then when I hit the starter it goes blank again.

Any help will be great!

Are they wires, or cables? It isn't unusual for these things to be delivered with loose battery cables, so that would be the first thing I'd check. While you are messing with the cables, may as well take them off, and make sure both the contact area of the battery lug and the end of the cable are bright and clean. I also like to use a touch of locktite on the threads.

Welcome to the forum, and post back if that works.

They are 2 wires that go into a white round connector and when I mess with them the display comes back but won't start

If you are looking at what I think you are (connector for battery sub harness), you can release the lock tab and pull the front part of the connector to disconnect it.

Then blow it out and clean it up.
