M spedometer is fried due to too many rain showers falling on it (the previous owner left it outside most of the time).
Consequently, the 4x4 does not work on the bike.
My question:
Is there anyway to bypass the spedo while still enabling the AWD switch?
I have seen on other posts where it is possible. But unfortunately, I can't remember what was said. Maybe it is not that unfortunate. Either way... Just wondering.

 

I don't think the rain is what fried it. I've stored my quads outside 24/7/365. Maybe someone else can help you.

 

guess fried is not the correct term to use... rusted is more like it... the spedo doesnt even work..
thanks anyways, frank

 

I had this same issue on my 04 ennded up being a broken ground wire under the headlamp/hood that grounded out both the 4x4 switch and cluster!

 

Cool, I will check it out. I recently found out that his son rolled the bike a couple of weeks before i bought it... Didnt do any damage to the bike, but i did notice the headlamp housing is broke...
Thanks,

Ya mine happend the same way after a rollover!!! hope this helps.

 

Thanks again. And I hope thats it... Getting tires of watching all the others play while I sit on the sidelines so to speak...
I has gotten wet as hell over the past few years and there is rust built up on the cluster behind the speedometer too... will check that again and clean it one more time just to be on the safe side...
MY neighbor said it had done it to him a time or two before and he would have to take the Speedo apart from the console and let it dry, then it would work again...
Thanks Again, Hemi
