any Polaris mechanics out there? elect. problems
 

AWD - won't engage, no light either

speedometer - not working
speedometer - no light

going forward - hit override button - reverse light comes on

reverse - you can go full tilt without hitting override button

I've got to believe these problems are all linked but I have no idea what it would be.

Dealer told me AWD is linked to speedo but I'd rather not leave it for him to "troubleshoot" for hours.

I hate electrical problems!

Did these problems just show up from normal use? Or did something else 'strange' happen - like maybe drowning it in a puddle?

The answer will probably help where to go from here.

If you have a manual, I would start looking into how to test different components.

These problems came up after installing a new battery. I had accidentally left off a ground cable and I pull started it for a couple of days to get my work done. Once I got some time to troubleshoot, I saw the gound cable stuck behind the battery. Connected it, it started great. I don't remember if the probably was immediately after this or not.

Don't know what's causing these problems but Polaris is easy to troubleshoot. Get a wiring diagram & check that all the wires are pluged into the correct spot on the connector board under the center plastic. Everything is color-coded.

Seem to remember reading something about a totaly dead battery causing problems like those.
Sorry I don't recall the details.
Try calling a few shops or ask on some more forums.

I think you cooked something. Since I am not familiar with your specific ATV, the first thing I would look for is blown fuse.

I'm betting on a blown speedometer. From the schematic, everything that i see wrong, connects to the speedometer. They're only 2 weeks backordered from Polaris. Must be a common problem.

OK unplug the speedo & see what happens. Just follow the color-code.
