Wink 2008 Polaris Sportsman 500 EFI Electrical

I was pushing snow yesterday and after about 5 min. My instrument display died along with the motor. I have traded the battery with another bike and checked the fuses.
I will greatly appreciate any input on finding and correcting the problem, as we are still forcast to receive periods of snow for the next few days.
Thanks for all input.

Welcome! Check the wiring leading into the fuse block. Had a lot of shorts underneath the fuse block on the 800s.
