2008 Honda Foreman 500 4x4 with power steering. I bought this fourwheeler new last week and its been riding great. But today I was riding and every now and then the power steering light would come on for maybe half a second and cut back off. It did this off and on all day. I plan on taking it back to the dealership to have it looked at on Tuesday because they are closed Sunday and Monday. But I was wondering if anyone on here knew what could have possibly caused it to do that? Thanks for any help.

Welcome to the forum.

I've never had to mess with a power steering one, but Foremans have been known to be delivered with loose battery cables. I'd maybe take the cables off and make sure the contact area on the cable and on the battery is clean and bright, then hit the bolts with some blue locktite. Get them good and snug, and see if that fixes it.

Beyond that, since it's under warranty, I'd say SEP (Someone Else's Problem) to fix it.

Thanks for the reply! I'll check the cables tomorrow and hopefully that fixes it. If not I'll take it back Tuesday.
