I was riding in the snow up a hill and noticed 3 wheels spining and not the 4th. It does this with awd button on or off? The front right wheel does not engage. I dont know much about awd and need a little advice on how to fix it. It pulls the steering the one way. Could it be frozon it has been cold here. Also could i disconect awd till i figure this out?

 

Change your hub fliuds. Check wire to wheel not turning.

 

and change your hub fluid. it should not be spinning either front wheel when the button is not pushed.

 

What hub fluid can i use other then polaris. The polaris dealer is far away, but if i have to i will go. Thanks for the help tlc and stendori.

 

My Clymer manual says you can use Automatic transmission fluid "Type F ".

 

Thanks i will go out in the morning and change fluid and see what happens.

 

My 1996 Polaris 400 has the same exact problem thanks guys im trying it too. The only difference with mine is that it is in 3 wheel drive only when i turn awd on. Im hopin that the connection to the hub isnt broken, but ill try tranny fluid type
F first.

 

Ya mine is stuck in 3 wheel drive now only when the awd is on. I checked there is power going to the one that is not working. Maybee time to take it apart, I wonder what i should be looking for?

 

Do an ohmeter check on the hub wiring first. I believe you should have 23ohms resistance. I'd have to check the book at work to make sure and I won't be there till Wednesday! Woo hoo. Ok sorry. If you don't have that resistance and it is infinite resistance(open), check your wiring for a broken wire. If it's good, pull the hub apart and start inspecting. Make sure the armature plate is perfectly flat. No warpage. Check the hub coil face and make sure it isn't chewed up either. Loose wheel bearings can cause it too.

 

Hi all I am new here and wanted to know if either one of you get yours fixed? I just bought one pretty cheap and this was one problem it had. Any other problems you guys have? Mine is a 96 also.
