Default Polaris 700 Electrical problem

Guys ive been having a problem with my 700. When i start the atv and turn the lights on..my lights start to flicker and the spedometer lights shut off. When i shut my lights off everything on the spedometer turns right back on. Ive checked voltages and everything seems to be fine. I also have a brand new battery installed on the atv. And what exactly is the ecm? And where is that located?
Thanks

I just went through my 2002 700. Polaris had a problem with that years electrical system. They have a kit that changes the stator- flywheel- rectifier-and coil, like the 04's. If you try and order a CDI for that year,they will tell you it is on backorder until end of Feb. What's that tell you, they can't even keep up with the demand. The kit that I used is a much better design.
