2WD - 4WD are blinking alternatly on my digital every once in a while. Everything seems
to be in working order when this happens. If I'm in 4WD ,it will still stay engaged when it
happens. I just shut the key and turn it back on and it dissapears. Have 5700Km on it
and 250 hours . Belt light went on at aprox 225 hours, 5400 Km ; Belt got replaced.

Would like to know why this happens??

Prairie 650 - Flashing 2wd 4wd lights

Page 38 of manual says:

flashing 2wd/4wd indicator lights signal a malfunction of the kawasaki engine brake control system or the selectable 2wd/4wd system. A flashing interval of 0.5 seconds indicates a malfunction with the 2wd/4wd actuator, a 1 second interval indicates the KEBC actuator is malfunctioning, a 2 second interval indicates both actuators are malfunctioning.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apparently, the fuses under the seat could be to blame for many people's flashing lights. So, before you waste time and energy diagonosing problems with the 4x4 selector and KEBC, try this tip from OldmanWheeler:

"Pull out each fuse and take a pair of pliers and just barely twist the ends of the fuse. I also took a small screw driver and tweaked the clips in the box. The idea is to make sure the fuse fit real tight. Once you have a tight fit use a small screw driver to place die-electric grease between the fuse contacts. Once that is done I filled the cap, closed it and filled all openings. Once this was done I never had any more problems. According to the Kaw person who told me how to fix this, it's been a problem, especially on the new P700's

 

My 700 started flashing alternately, but it had more serious trouble. The ignitor failed, and somehow it caused everything else to go haywire, too. It stayed in 2WD, and the actuator on the PVT cover also stopped working.

 

Thanks built4speed,

Do you know that manual by memory or do you sleep with the thing under your pillow. LOL
No, seriously , I fliped through that thing a few times and never saw that.
