I have a 00 xpedition that the 4wd is hit and miss.Dealer has been no help other then wanting to sell me a new speedometer.Is there any way of testing the speedometer.Does anyone have any other ideas.

 

when driving down the road does the speedometer show how fast your going...??
i doubt the speedometer will keep it from going into 4WD

 

On all Polaris with digital speedo from 2000 and up the speedo must work to have AWD. Unless it a "hall effect senor" failure on the inside right front wheel which cause every thing on the speedo to quit working accept the hour meter but still allows the AWD to function.

You would have to look it up on this site with the "search" option,but there is a easy wiring bypass to have AWD without the speedo being involved,for those who do not care about having a speedo yet want AWD working.

 

my speedometer is working.the bypass sounds good but my speedometer does not have a brown n white wire.only wire that goes to hub in the plug on speedometer is gray n white

 

do you have the digital speedo. w/ the big say 15 or more(guessing)wire plug in the back of it? i was thinking of the brown wire as well but cant rememebr w/out searching it myself. is the inercator showing awd all the time even when its not working?

 

no my speedometer is the one with two plugs but my wheeler is 5spd not auto.I think this is why wiring is not the same.

 

I doubt its your speedo causing the problem if its working. But if it did there is a wiring bypass for that also since a 2000 325 Xpendition has the same AWD system and has no speedometer whats so ever.

My guess is you have a bad AWD swich, causing no power to get to the hubs. Take it apart and clean it would be worth a try.

 

I have power on both wires.Goes on and off with switch did take apart and clean anyways.The only thing electrical that does not work is the reverse overide switch.the 4wd functon works but the speed limiter doesnt.
