Default 2001 500 sportsman speedo bypass

I have a 2001 Polaris 500 sportsman with speedo/AWD issues. Over the last 7 years I have replaced the speedo 2 times to get the AWD to work....I would like to bypass the speedo since I have spent over $500 dollars and to have it go out again. I am the only person who uses the wheeler to plow snow. Please help me find a way to bypass without burning up my electronics on the wheeler.

Thanks<

Mark

Have you tried this also? Here's two videos of the same procedure.

If you have done this already,then to actually bypass the awd ground wire(brown/white) from entering the speedo,you can jump the brown/white speedo harness wire to a regular brown ground wire in the speedo harness or you can run to the main grounds location at the ignition coil lower mount tab.
