2004 Polaris Sportsman 400 battery connected backwards!
I wasn't there when my son bought a new battery for his 2004 Sportsman 400. When he got home he connected the battery and smelled something burn and then just got a humming noise. I talked to him on the phone and the new battery has the terminals opposite of the old battery, which made the mistake easier to make. Now he put the old battery back in and still just gets a humming noise not from the battery. I told him to disconnect it and leave it until I can work on it with him on Saturday. Any ideas as to what may have fried or blown? And why would the terminals be opposite? I called the dealer and he triple checked the battery and said that he gave him the right battery and probably the previous owner put the wrong battery in it.
All opinions and input greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

not shure where stuff is on it. but could be the stator thats in the motor. or the voltage regulator. im guessing somewhere near the battery. also not shure if it has a shure module where it controlles the awd, and other functions. on my 500 its a black box with alota wires under the front headlight pod.
