I HAVE A 1998 POLARIS SPORTSMAN 500. I CANT FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS! I HAVE A NEW BATTERY BUT NO OF MY HAND CONTROLS WORK. IE: STARTER SWITCH,LIGHTS,4WD AND ENGINE SHUT-OFF. I USED A TEST LIGHT AND IM GETTING POWER TO THE KEY BUT NOTHING ELSE.
IT RUNS FINE USING THE PULL START BUT STIL NO HAND CONTROLS.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

 

are you getting power thru the kill switch? i would trace the wires to find where the power is stopping unless the switch it self is bad.

 

I know in my ECM it has two solid state circuit breaker outputs.......That's on a 2006 model though!!!!!
First output is for the Battery..for lamps,pod and hub coils......

Second output is for the ACC/PWR This second output is used for ACCESSORIES!!!

.....Caper............

 

i dont beleave they even had those type of elecs. back in 98' they were alot more simple i think too bad they still werent that way.

 

Yes I am fully aware of the "NEW" more advanced wiring...LOL..LOL
I still think there should be some kind of circuit protection on the older quads......Just can't tell him where to look........This ECM of mine/ours......Does alot of things!!!!!!!!!!!!....I would have never of though it did so much!!!!!!............Caper..........

 

you got that right. does everything but the dishes just about. lol
