Default 3 light mod

Hey guys,
I have done some searching and I am a little confused. Which method should I use to do the 3 way light mod in the SP 700EFI?
(use a relay or a diode) I have found instructions for both methods, I just want to make sure I dont blow anything in the electrical system. My experience proves that EFI systems are very sensitive.

Thanks, Bill

I used the relay about a year and a half ago and no problems at all.

How do you hook up the relay to make all three lights come on at the same time on a 2004.5 700efi sportsman?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

The reading and research that I have done recommend using the diode method instead of the relay on the EFI.

But any way, "EASY" posted this back in April:

You will need to purchase a standard 4 pin, 12v relay, 4 pieces of 16 gauge wire about 8" long, 4 female crimp on spade connectors (for connection of wires to relay), 4 wire splice connectors.(they are usually blue and you simply insert the wires and squeeze with pliers, then fold back the protective locking cover)

Open the pod and locate the wiring listed below

Relay terminal #30 connects to Polaris green wire (low beams)

Relay terminal #87 connects to Polaris red wire (10 amp protected circuit at the lighter plug)

Relay terminal #86 connects to Polaris wire yellow wire (high beam)

Relay terminal #85 connects to Polaris brown wire (ground)

Use dielectric grease or liquid tape at all electrical connections to prevent corrosion.

They way this functions, is that when you select high beam, you are powering up the relay to give 12v to the low beam circuit from Polaris's 10amp 12v protected circuit. (No fuse needed) Enjoy.
