I just bought a NEW 2014 Polaris IQ Touring Turbo LXT. I rode it 24 miles at the dealership In Minisota where I FOUND a BARGAN I Thought. ( I am in western IL) We were loading the Ssleds to leave Sunday morning and it died just as I had shut it off with the key. I was watching the temp , it was at 154 when it died so I dont think it was over heated. There were no lights flashing or odd sounds when it died. When I try to start it there is a some kind of electric component that is mounted on the air intake of the turbo that clicks. The engine will turn over by jumping the cylenoid mounted above the battery. I tried a different battery and that made no difference. I talked to the dealer in MN. and they had not seen this before and my local dealer has agreed to "look" at it this morning. It has full factory waranty so that is a plus, however I am bummed as I may have to ride my backup sled for the trip. Any thoughts?

Did u check all electrical connections under hood to see if wiggling one starts it ? And maybe throttle safety switch ?

Thanks to those who looked and tried to be helpful, The answer IS ding ding ding loose connection in the fuse block. The ignition relay plugged into its spot securely however one of the conectors was a bit wide for the spade. A very thorough mechanic was calm and diligant unlike the owner and found the poor connection. I will take my new sled to find some snow in MN.

those were a great bargain my brother in law just bought 1 we have 7 iq turbo's in the family no issues at all i just sold my 08 with 13000 miles great sleds but a little heavy switched to ski doo this year 1200 4 tec just make sure you warm it up to 95-100 before you take off the plugs are about an hour to change and you have to have an allen wrench
