new here got a 1996 polaris xplorer 400l wiring prob it starts an runs if you unplug the black wire from the rev limiter behind the oil tank but as soon as you plug it in will turn over but no start any help is appreciated thanks

 

Leave it unplugged as all the reverse limiters fail sooner or later! You'll have full power in reverse and also awd without having to push the over ride button. No sense replacing a $70 module only to have it fail again.That's what I did at the shop on about 99% of the machines with the owners approval. Just a Polaris safety device that would fail!

 

thanks all leave it like that then thanks

 

got 1996 polaris xplorer 400l Wheel drive wont work any way to test the hubs shafts turn but not locking in

 

Pop the front panel to make sure the two small connectors leading to each wheel are connected. Small gray and brown wires. The awd switch when on and in gear has to light up to receive power from the shift box gear selector switch and then completes the circuit to the awd wiring.There is also a small bulb if burnt out in the awd switch,will break the circuit also. http://www.cyclepartswarehouse.com/f...1996&fveh=5419

sry to keep asking but the 4x4 works in forward not backward

 

Is the reverse light on the dash working? Did you leave the limiter black wire unplugged?

 

the black wire i left unplug none of the dash light work think the blubs are blown thanks for all the help

 

Just make sure the awd switch lights up when you place it in reverse. If it doesn't it could be a gear position switch problem in the shift box. Also replace the dash indicator bulbs,so you know what's happening. Item #2. http://www.cyclepartswarehouse.com/f...1996&fveh=5419
