Default Polaris Magnum 425 AWD not working!

Hey guys! I have a Polaris Magnum 425 AWD. The AWD isn’t kicking in. Was hoping someone could give me some insight on the situation.

Yes the speedo works. The AWD light doesn’t come on but when in gear there is power to the switch

doe the override switch work when in reverse? there is away to by pass the speedo if that was the issue but you said it worked, I think it was the brown wire that was the key. unless the bulb is bad then the light should be lighted up when engaged. so it does sound like there is a power issue getting through the switch to the hubs.

I ran a power wire directly to where the plugs for the AWD go down towards the struts. The AWD light then came on but the AWD still won’t engage.....
