I've got an 06 Kodiak, about three months old, that from time to time will flash its reverse light. Happens while it's in Park as well as in gear, both while idleing as well as while hauling *** down the trail. Typically happens for about 20-30 seconds and then the reverse light turns off again. It's definitely not a bad contact or ground as the reverse light flashes at a constant pace, almost seems like it's a diagnostic flash of some sort. Called my local dealer (who I bought it from) and they're pretty much clueless. You guys have any ideas as to what it might be?

 

Sounds like a short in the wiring somewhere.....do you have any battery drain? Wouldn't that be under warranty

 

Has the motor been bounced off of the rev limiter, shortly before the flashing?

 

That's possible, it does tend to happen when going all out. However, it's also happened once or twice while in Park before starting out, i.e. pretty much right after starting it up.

 

I know the older raptors and grizzlys had a feature...if the revs were over 3000 for more than 10secs, with out a load (nuetral or park), it would flash the reverse light. It seems to me, it will also flash if the rev limiter is held for 10 secs.

Or do a search, looking for flash and reverse in itle or body...theres a few threads on it.

 

I've caught mine doing that once or twice too. Don't know why, but everything's been fine!
Next time I'll need to pay more attention to the situation.
