2002 Sportsman 400 4x4 speedometer/AWD

Okay so I got a new battery today, and the speedometer backlight, hours and miles meters work! But the needle does not. And they only work when the OFF-RUN-OFF switch is in the off position. What would cause this? And will the speedometer still control AWD correctly without the needle working? Thanks.

Awd indicator bulb had the same brown/white ground wire and grey power wire as the speedo and hub coils. Check the grey for power when in gear and in awd mode.If it's hot,run a jumper wire from the brown/white to another brown or frame ground to see if the indicator lights up. If the speedo still only lights up when the left control switch is in emergency off position and blanks out in the on position,then still sounds like the control switch is the problem or you may have multiple problems along with possible grounding issues from the speedo assy.

Still sounds like an intermittent short if the light came on in low range or possible that the 3 position switch on the tranny (R/N/H) could be faulty if awd only kicked in in low range. This switch also when in gear helps complete the circuit and the awd light should come on in high range also.But the popping noise could be mechanical,so you could have both an intermittent short or a gear position switch problem on the transmission, plus could have some problems in the front drive system ranging from either the front gear case,drive shaft or one or the other front hubs.Just need to eliminate one thing at a time.Switch is the back one #11 and has plastic levers that can break and have broken before,plus they've been updated.
