Flashing Battery Icon
Guys, The battery on my 2003 Sportsman 500 HO was going bad so I replaced it. The machine has 750 miles on it. At first the blinking battery icon on the spedometer was gone until I turned on the lights then it blinks. If I turn off the lights it stops. I also just noticed that if I use the winch the thing blinks. Needless to say when I am drawing power down the battery icon blinks. ANy thoughts? I am beginning to get frustrated...
Thanks, Superintendent

Hey guys thanks for the responses. The light (icon) stays on whenever the lights are on even if I am not at idle. I guess I will have to go through the tests in the service manual, I only hope I don't have stator problem. I hope it is something simple perhaps like the rectifier or voltage regulator. I will start by recleaning the terminals on the cables and battery and check all connections.
Thanks again, Superintendent
