hello,my 2007 500x2 must have a short in the wiring somewhere,when turning key to on,fuel pump kicks on for about a second then all power turns off,like the relays are shutting off all power,but i am unable to find the problem,any ideas on how to tell if there is a short and how to find it,thanks

 

Same thing was happening with my 2008 touring 500. Check and clean the fuses under the front box, or replace with new fuses. They get pretty dirty under there and cause a bad connection. I changed mine and sealed up as best i could with di-electric grease after new fuses were installed, fixed problem for me.

 

no fuses on 2007 500x2 with efi,only sealed solid state cicuit breakers(non-replace able)

 

Imm pretty sure it does have fuses under front box, may be easier to remove front box

 

I think the 800 X2 has the fuses under the front box .....couldn't find one on 500 X2 when the front box was off.....?

 

I'd follow the harness back from the modules a little on the drivers side,a lot of the models have a 20 amp thermal fuse taped to the top of the harness for easy access. If yours doesn't have one,then I would check under pod for any exposed/damaged wires.If none of this helps,then you're probably down to the controller module or ecm! Plus is battery terminals tight?? OPT

 

battery terminals are as tight as possible,no fuses anywhere,no bare wires anywhere either.must be the controller,im not sure if i should take the atv in for repairs or just order one,they are about 175.oo thanks for the help.

 

get a ohm meter and check for shorts.

 

Another thing I found on my bike with the wiring which may help. Look at wiring harnesses where they come out of the black plastic wire loom protector. I found several on my bike where the loom had cut threw the outside of the wire exposing the wires to moisture and causing shorts and messing up my tps sensor. Fairly easy to do....check exposed wires between plastic wire loom and the connector on the end. I found 3 or so on my bike.

 

Sometimes you can get lucky with electrical gremlins. Start with double checking/cleaning simple connections like battery terminals. You can re-insulate and protect "questionable" wires with products like liquid electrical tape, or self-vulcanizing silicone electrical tape. A time consuming proceedure of wiggle testing all along wiring routes can also sometimes turn up the problem area. Never easy, but good luck.
