First check that if it is charging back to the battery,14 volts or so. Have the battery load tested if it is charging to see if it can hold the charge. If it's not charging back to the battery and you've had the ecm replaced under the original recall and is on record ,Polaris wont pay for a second one. At least I could never get a second one warrantied.Sucks I know as I've had to replace multiple ecms on the same atvs and several members on the forum have also. Just check around as to who has the best prices. This one box imo controls too many things: charging,fan operation,circuit breakers,battery protection circuits,etc. Too many things to go wrong,but really no way around the ecm.
