Ecm module. If you haven't had it replaced(some still out there with the black Chinese ecms)it was under recall at no charge.Polaris Industries Expands Recall of ATVs Due to Fire Hazard | CPSC.gov If you have the replacement silver Sure Power ecm module,then they have been known to be just as faulty.

Have the sure fire.
I checked and found have the surefire ecm. The machine manufacture date is March of 2004. I had it at the shop for the fan coming on sporadically even when sitting for a few days. About 9 years ago. I remember them replacing the ecm under a recall. I checked all connections and it looks like I'm buying a new ecm.. is there a way to test the ecm that's in it ? Like I said before, it eats batteries and it says it's over charging.. am I best off just buying a new one??

Just get a new ecm module. Had a bunch of problems like this on the replacement US made ecms also. Fans would run constantly running batteries down,charging either too low or way too high. The module controls too many things imo. Fan operation,charging,battery protection circuit(that's a joke)plus all the circuit breakers are in this module. Here's an example of one that melted internally.
