Default HELP!!!! 2002 sportsman 700 speedometer issue!!

I bought an 02 sportsman 700 and the complete speedo is not working. Won't light up or anything. I have power coming in and out of all 3 fuse packets under the hood, I have power in the 12 pin connector in pins 1,2,and 7 (1:red, 2:red stripe, 7: brown with yellow stripe). Put a new battery in it fully charged it, tried a new speedo and still won't turn on at all! 4wd won't work, presumably because the speedo is out. Please help!!!!

Welcome to the forum!If you have power to the red wire in the connector even with the key off,check the ground wires(brown) for any shorts or breaks in the speedo harness or any other wires that may have breaks. Under the pod area is a bad place for shorts since all the turning that the harnesses have to make,plus the small wires in the speedo harness and connector take a beating.Since you already tried another speedo and it didn't work,sounds like some breaks somewhere? Awd won't work until the speedo works! OPT
