I have a 2001 450 ES I am working on. The display is intermittant. One time it is on then I hit the starter and it is gone. The next time it comes on when I am cranking the starter but goes off as soon as I stop.
I wiggled every wire and thought I had it but no....
Has anyone had any troubles like this?
I would like to solve this asap as I tis not my machine.
My nephew bought it on my say so and now I can't solve the problem.
Anyone have a pic of the wiring diagram?
Thanks for any help!!

bad battery?

 

No battery is good.
I have checked the ground and all the plug connections I can find.
I am waiting for a wiring diagram so I can start to trace wires and check for power.
I just thought if anyone had had a similar thing happen they might be able to comment.

Thanks!!

My 450 es used to act up and cleaning the fuses under the seat fixed it.

 

MIne just did this Friday when I was riding in to go hunting. The display is blank and does not light up when the lights are on. It runs fine/shifts fine. Just no display. I did not have much time to investigate, I will tomorrow. I will start with fuses and wires under the display. If that does not work, what next?

It was working fine when I put it away a couple of weeks ago. I did however rinse it off before I put it away, so I don't know if water got in somewhere and corroded something.

Any ideas will be helpful. It is a 2002 Foreman 450 es.
