Default 2004 recon es shift problems

i just got a used recon es it wont shift by the buttons they do nothing you can manually shift the display is gone it has been rolled i pulled off the shift motor it does nothing when i hit the buttons also there is a plug unplugged from the ecu and when i plug it in it blows a fuse not sure if that is for the es or not i plan on buying a munual but i figured i would try this first any help would be greatly appreciated.

Good idea the manual will tell you everything you need to know!

You will first have to check/clean the ESP couplers for water/moisture , and the wire harness for any damage/shorts ... Then unplug all the ESP input/output couplers and see if it still blows the fuse .. It is impossible to check trouble flash codes without a dash/display ..

Here are the ESP copmonents ..

made a little headway with it everything plugged without blowing fuse had a bad connection i guess but still no shifting does the display have to be there possibly to complete the circuit and where does the display plug in the only open plug i see is on the left had side close to the gas on off valve

The display doesn't have to work for the ESP to work , but the display must be working to retrieve the trouble code/s ...

Here is the meter coupler ..

Green is ground .. If the green isn't hooked up on the ignition switch then turning the key to "off" won't kill the engine...

Do you mean the owner used the emergency shifter to drive the bike..?..

As far as "fail safe" goes .. There are 12 codes and out of the 12 codes the ECU does 11 input or output tests everytime the ignition switch is turned on ..

Here is the page ..
