Sportsman lsoes power when flipping headlight switch
OK so when my buddy turns on his 05 SP 500 HO it will do everythign fine but when u flip the headlight switch back and forth real quick it loses power. He says its the switches but i say its most likely jsut a wire. Any help?

I had a problem with my Quad shutting off when my headlight were turned on.............It was a bad Sure Power Ind. or Black Box..........The ECM has two Solid state circuit breakers in there to protect the motor and wiring in case of a short of damaged circuit..........Caper.......

On my third one .......But never did buy one, ......well yes I did buy one .....but after the dealer ran my VIN#'s they gave me my money back for it when I brought in the old one.......It was about $145.00 Canadian Funds..........Does his Quad shut the motor off when the headlights are turned on?..........Caper............

hes confusing the hell outta me. now hes saying it doesnt do it when he turn the lights on but onylwhen he flips the switch back and forth. i dont understand why that matters. i think it doiesnt shut off when he turns the lights on when its running. he only showed my then he turns the key on and flips it it loses power and if u flip them again it comes back. i hate dealing with him

Well it may not be the ECM...........So I would not tell him to buy one!!!
Like I said ........My motor would shut off when the headlight switch was turn on........
Then I needed to turn the key fully off...........and start the Quad with the switch in the off position.................Caper...........Not sure what his trouble is yet..........No direct question yet as to what it's doing..............Caper.............
