Looking for some help with a 2008 rxt 255, does not start, no beep, no fuel pump sound, but turns over and cluster lights up. Changed the battery and spark plugs, check the fuses and relay. Is it possible for key to loose programming

There's a chip in the key; the ECU reads the chip. Have you tried the other key?

Now I did see a failed fuel pump driver in the ECU on one ski; I ran a separated ground for the fuel pump so the ski would start, but that causes a check engine light. The ECU provides the ground to activate the fuel pump. If you don't hear the fuel pump, use a multi meter to see if you have 12 volts on the fuel pump. No voltage at the pump, check the fuse. If you have voltage, use an amp meter to see if there is any current flow in the circuit. If there is no current flow, check the ground wire from the pump to the ECU for continuity. No continuity, fix the broken wire; good continuity, replace the ECU or run a separate ground for the pump. The pump will come on for a brief period of time when you install the key on the D.E.S.S. post. Then the pump will shut down until the ECU sees a crank signal.

It has multiple keys that were all programed to work on both rxt s . I get the same result with other keys. However I do think it maybe something in the lack of beep and no fuel pump sound.

Correct, the beep is an audible indication that the ECU recognizes the key. However, you may not hear the beep if the buzzer has failed or is disconnected. So follow my previous suggestions.

Got it going, turns out that it was a bad fuel pump and beeper

Combo meal! Glad you solved it.
