Ok guys ive read a few threads about how to check whether your fan is bad or the sensor but they all seem to have the sensor on the radiator i dont think my sensor is on the radiator can someone tell or post a pic of where its a for a polaris 08 scrambler 500HO? I believe its my fan thats bad but just want to be sure before ordering a new one. Thanks

 

You can always just apply 12 volts directly to the fan itself to see if it works. Does show a thermal sensor also that could be faulty. Plus you have an ecm module that could be at fault. Look here under "electrical sensors" under your model. http://parts.polarisind.com/Browse/Browse.asp

 

Just unplug the two fan wire and jump it to a 12v DC source. Don't worry about + or - that just changes the fan direction.

If you need a fan go to "Spal.com" its much cheaper then the dealership.

The Polaris dealer wanted $320 Canadian and I got a new fan off Ebay for $65. Spal wanted $89.

 

Ok so i put 12 volts to the fan and it doesnt come on, I ride a lot in deep water so im assuming the water got to it and it sounded pretty loud and bad the last time i heard it. Im looking on ebay for a new fan but they say the only fit scramblers 01-03 is there any difference in a 08 fan the plugs on the ones on ebay look the same as mine can i use one of those fans?

 

Look here and see if you can find one that matches.SPAL USA Plus if the connector is different you could always splice yours in.

None of those look the same. The part number on mine is 2410430 and the part number on the other ones is 2410123 but they look identical does anyone know if there interchange able?
