My friends 2007 Rev Expedition. Works ok until it ingests abit of snow. Then the engine keeps switching from forward/reverse/forward/reverse. let it sit for a while and it works again until you hit a drift. Anyone else heard off this? where to start?
Sled keeps going in reverse/for/rever/for

i havent heard of this but maybe turn up yoour idle, it shouldnt go into reverse unless the idle falls to low.
Uplug one wire off the RER button next trip and see what happens.
I wonder if water isn't dripping down and shorting the button out (clear water is not much of a conductor tho?) or if ice is gitting into the button and not letting it return all the way out?
RER buttons are a perishable item. At least on the Zx - I would completely blow one out of mine at least once a season with my knee, and in full 2 stroke fashion - since it happened with the motor running - never fealt a thing!
(even after I knew that I had done it!)

it is water in the switch, the two wires are next too each other on the plug inside the housing. ice buildup in the switch causes a connection and it will switch back and forth between forward and reverse. I have seen this countless times. dry out the switch housing and add a chit ton of dielectric grease when reinstalling.
