Default 1996 sportsman 400 rev limiter override???

How do I disconnect the rev limiter so I can have 4 wheel drive in reverse? I see a few threads talking about unhooking a black wire from a circuit board but I don't have one. Any help would be great!!!

Item #40 under the front panel. Just pull the black wire. You'll have full power and awd in reverse without having to push the override button.Dirt Cheap Yamaha, Honda, Arctic Cat & Polaris OEM Parts & Accessories – Cycle Parts Warehouse

It's an electro/mechanical awd system. You have to have a good battery to start with, If you don't have awd in reverse it could be that you have a problem in the wiring going to the hubs(small wiring connectors under the front panel)or a mechanical problem in the hubs. Plus if you haven't changed hub fluid in awhile it might be time to try this also. OPT
