Default 2000 Polaris sportsman 500 4x4 issues

Hi, I’m new here and new to Polaris quads, I have a 2000 Polaris sportsman 500, the 4x4 works fine in reverse when I push the override switch, but in the forward gears the 4x4 don’t work, any help would be greatly appreciated

In both High and low range? Does the 4x4 indicator lamp glow? Check the voltage at the AWD hub coil connector for both hubs GRY and BRN/W wires. Should be close to battery voltage. If 12 VDC, then may be mechanical. I assume hub coils are ok since AWD in reverse, but you can confirm by measuring the resistance of each coil. Should be around 24 ohms each.. If no 12 VDC, I would check the trans switches. 2000 Polaris Sportsman 500 has two trans switches a front and rear and they both supply current to the AWD system based on the gear the machine is in.

thanks for the feed back, will definitely check the hubs and the switches, also have to check a few more issues with it, won’t run without choke on, backfiring, sputtering, low power, bogging out, speedo don’t work, think I bought a lemon
