early 2004 sportsman 500 AWD prob
Left front hub not driving. Rt. front works fine. Diagnostics says awd is off even with 3 wheels driving. When I slide awd switch to on, the OFF flickers quickly but the OFF reading still shows. Where do I start? I have drained and refilled both hubs, but...

Awd grounding through the speedo and long ground runs from there to the hubs were common problem points. This may affect speedo display also. Try a common ground first on the hub ground wires as the video shows. If that doesn't help,jump the brown/white wire in the speedo connector harness to the brown wire or a good frame ground. This eliminates the awd ground path from going through the speedo itself.This may restore the left wheel drive and correct the display.If grounding doesn't help on the left wheel,could be a mechanical problem.

Thanx, OPT!
I'm an old polaris rider (in age - 75) but new to the sport. Your suggestion looks easier as a first step than what I was going to do. I pulled the left wheel yesterday and was about to pull the hub to check out the Hilliard, etc. and thought there might be an easier first step. I'll try the ground when I get home from work (still teaching high school after 47 yrs).
I saw a link you recommended on another thread for shop manuals, and I purchased both a 2004 for my wife's quad and a 2005 for mine. That was a great $9.90 well spent for 2 Polaris shop manuals. Thanx.
