I have a Polaris Sportsman 800, last rode, no problems! Can't get the the display to turn on, to start, no fire! Have new battery, fuses are good! Any suggestions, troubleshooting?

Have you checked your connections under the display? Also have you probed your key switch wires with test light to see if your getting power up that far?

Pull up the fuse block itself. Had a lot of problems on wiring pulling out or shorting in this area.

You guys are awesome! Did check fuses again, they were blown, twice! It's the 20amp, what could be blowing the fuse! I did get another in, and it worked and started! Thanx

Still probably an intermittent short in the fuse holder itself. I'd still pull it up and check the wiring and small flat inner contacts.They were bad on wiring pulling out or wires touching, popping fuses. You don't want to be stuck out in the middle of nowhere because of this.
