I have a 2002 500 Auto. I was wiggling the wiring behind the speedo while the quad was running and the quad quit. It blew the 15 amp ignition fuse. This happened twice.
I remember a post about someone talking about an ignition short at a connector.

This concerns me because my 9 year old boy and I rode 6 miles in 3 feet snow in below zero weather. I would hate to get stranded. I have a general idea where the problem is. I wanted to post this because I know there has been someone who knows exactly where the problems are.

Any advise is appreciated.

 

I think you will find some wires have rubbed or been crimped along the steering shaft, about where they go between plastic and frame and are shorting out the ingnition system.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Get a good light and check, might have to cut some wire ties to seperate bundle.
