OK to start. my first problem was this.
my neutral and reverse lights did not work everything else worked(awd,speedo,fan,etc.). so i replaced both tranny switches. the lights worked. i thought it was all fixed. i rode the quad around and notice no AWD. it wouldnt work. the light wouldnt come on, nothing. i checked everything pretty much, the reverse AWD wouldnt work either, yes i pushed the override button. so im thinking something disconnected. i checked everything. put the old switches on. still nothing. so i rode the quad today till it got hott. the overheating light went on and no fan. so now no AWD,fan. took it for another ride and noticed no speedo. so now no AWD,FAN,SPEEDO. nothing works on the speedo, not the light,miles,speedo. im really frustrated. what do you guys think i should check/do???? i really need help i cant afford to take it to the shop.

Polaris AWD is controlled through your speedo.They have had problems with the speedo going out and losing your AWD.Check all connections to the speedo.This is most likely the problem.

you might also want to check your ignition switch, i've had a pin pull out before causing some of the same problems your describing.
