I have a 2004 sportsman 700 the speedo got water in and I'm pretty shore it shorted out does anybody no if there is a fuse anywhere I don't have a multimeter handy to check for power..

 

Whats the speedo doing? If your AWD still works than it probably your hall effect senor on your right front wheel. My hall effect has never worked so my speedo only has a functioning hour meter thats all.

 

At first speedo was the only thing inop but then the fuel, and gear display started showing inaccurate with key on engine off the low and nutral are lit up and with fuel tank half empty it was reading full.. now everything is out... awd is also inop

 

there is no fues to fix that. sounds like the speedo is gone and time to replace.

 

My wifes does this all the time and I can't find a cure. All you have to do is remove the speedo and take the plastic lens cover off shake out the water and use a hair dryer on it for a while and everthing will be all right. You probably need to start keeping a bag over it when you are not rideing. I have had this happen on the trail and had to use the exaust to dry it. I know with all my heart that the speedo you have just needs to be dried out.

 

Don't feel bad about 5 of my friends and myself all have problems with Polaris speedo- so you have company in your miseries. If you do manage to figure out something please post the cure and in the mean time I figure its a small problem to have for such a dependable nice riding machine

Doesn't the speedo have to work to have AWD?

 

awd doesn't work just tested yesterday in a hole was looking up info on computer I tried drying the speedo out with a hair dryer still won't work.. I heard if you ground the negative wires going to the hubs the awd should work normaly with out the speedo was just wondering if this actualy works not worried about speedo that much need awd..

 

there isnt hubs on that is there? theres actualy a ground(brown wire)that you can jump in the speedo harness to make the awd work i beleave there was a post a long time ago about how to do it. sounds like its time to replace the speedo.

 

not shore I know that there are 2 wires running down to the hubs so I was guessing that it had hub activated awd.. just jump the brown wires up at the connector for the speedo are they solid brown and do you remember if it works I checked back a little but couldn't find it
