on another fourum they said that the awd is grounded through the speedo so if the speedo isnt working the awd wont engage they said to splice in a ground wire to try to fix the problem ya the awd is lit up it just doesnt engage except in foreward

Maybe roller cage . ATV Frontier - ATV Forums, News, Reviews, Chat, Maps, Classifieds and More › Forums › Branding Iron › Polaris › no AWD in reverse

My brother rode his all day after we discovered the problem. Had 4wd in high and low, just not in reverse. The rollers would engage normally in forward. The Override button worked fine and we got the flashing "SLOW" as is normal, just no 4wd in reverse.
The dealer checked everything electrical before disassembling the Hillard and finding the cage cracked.

I yanked the front diff out yesterday and popped the top off and took a look inside. The cage was cracked in numerous places and it probably was on it's last leg's working in forward gears too. I took it the diff to my dealer and they are going to try to put the repair through under "good will repair". If they don't repair it under warranty I'll just take my diff back and order the cage and install it myself. Thank's of all the suggestion's but everything i done kinda leaned to that front cage being pooched......and it was.
