We recently bought a 04 foreman 450 and now everything is dead. Its not the battery because husband tried the battery in our new 4 wheeler and everything worked. Where to go from here? Any ideas what could be the proplem? Thanks so so much!

 

Check the fuses under the seat,may need replacing or cleaning,

 

All the fuses are good

 

Are you able to push start it????

 

I don't think dh has tried that. I will ask him. Thanks

 

Well, husband borrowed someone elses electric meter thing and it was the fuses. His meter is old, so he got to doubting the readings. There were 2 fuses blown. Yeah! That's fixed! Now to figure out why it is smoking so bad.

 

The automotive fuses are easy to tell when blown because there is a gap, clearly visible. ( See below). The blue is good, the orangs is bad.

 

There's also a main battery fuse, looks like a thin strip of tin.

You should find the reason that caused the fuses to blow, if everything is OK the fuse will never blow. If theres a wire damaged your going to have the same problem and probably burn something up in the process.

 

I will tell husband about that main fuse. Thanks
