i just got a polaris atp 330. Where to start.

When i turn the quad on, the whole pod lights up, all the service lights, gear lights, everything. For about 2 seconds. Then i get a flashing wrench for about 15 seconds, then nothing. No gear lights come on when i switch to different gears. none of them work. Also we have snow here and i figured out my awd is not working.

Any idea where to start look at this. i am assuming it is all related to something elecltrical. the Speedo does work and the different modes work when i switch them using the mode/overide button.

When i do have the switch in awd position, and i hold the mode/override button, the 4x4 indicator lights up.

Any help would be grealty appreciated. thanks

 

The flashing wrench is the service interval indicator. It can be resett every time you service your machine.
The AWD probably doesn't work because the machine doesn't think it's in gear(electrically) Meaning the gear indicator switch has an issue or the wiring to it. Go here

Click on ATV, Year, Model, then find the "gearcase" section and look at number 69. It's your indicator switch. Start there and see if you can find anything.

 

looks like that part is 70 bucks or so. is this switch wired. Maybe just a broken wire? hate to spend 70 bucks and not be the problem.

Definately check it out before replacing parts. Electrical parts are expensive and usually NON returnable.

 

This looks the the part you are talking about. Is there suppose to be a wire coming out of the bottom. it feels like there could be what is a male end underneath the bottom.

 

That is the gear idicator switch. There should be a connector and a harness going to it.

 

Any clue what wire color i am looking for, how many wires. where they go to?

 

Could i do the below and bypass the electronic gear selection process.

Polaris Speedo Troubleshooting

Pull the 6 prong plug and test for 12 volts between ((A) Red/White +) and ((B) Brown -) on the plug not the speedometer, when the key is on.
If you see 12 to 13 volts with your meter do the same test with a small 12 volt light. If the light works, it is probably the speedometer.

If you do not have 12 volts between ((A) Red/White +) and ((B) Brown -) on the plug when the key is on, the speedometer may be OK and
you have a wiring problem elsewhere.

The brown/white wire (wire E) on the speedometer is where the AWD system gets the ground to make it work. 12 volts on this wire would be normal with the AWD system on and the 6 prong plug removed.

You can "test" the AWG system by bypassing the speedometer. Remove the 6 prong plug and use a straighten paper clip to slide the brown/white wire out of the 6 prong plug. Put the 6 prong plug back on the speedometer and tie the brown/white wire to ground.

If the AWD system works you can leave the speedometer bypass, just be careful when you turn on the AWD switch

I wouldn't worry about testing the speedo yet. The speedo has to know the machine is in gear before it will allow the awd to turn on. Since your switch is unplugged, the speedo has no way of knowing whether its in gear or not, so the awd wont function. I don't know exactly what color wires should be running to it(I don't have a schematic) but they are usually in a black wire loom with a connector on the end of it. When you find it plug it back in and providing the switch is good, I'll bet all your problems will be fixed.

I haven't personally ever bypassed the speedo.

I found the cord, it was hanging there. I have no clue why the place i bought it from would of had this disconnected. They did service it before they sold it to me. Anyway it is plugged in and all is good. thanks
