I have a 03 kodiak 450 and it started to blink the diff lock light and the motor acts like its hiting the rev limiter any good advice is welcome thanks

 

Is it doing it constantly? I have had that happen when shifting into 4x4 or diff lock with too much speed. Could you be stuck in 4x4 diff lock.

 

no the dang thing in my shop or out riding it just has this problem and it kinda sucks

 

Have you checked to see if it is stuck in diff lock? You could try looking for damaged wires that might be sending a false signal.

 

no i was thinking the same thing but checked the wires and there all good so i dont know i was hoping some one has heard of this before but im finding this kinda rare

 

ok, if it's blinking then it's not engaging. (which is why the limiter is engaging. The engine won't respond over a certain RPM until it engages) The splines may be stripped on the sliding dif-lock. Does it ever engage? You may need to crack open the differential and take a look, or else take it in. When was the last time you change the fluid?

 

I purchased it brandnew it has 505miles on it and sad to say ive never changed fluids in it hell I only have used the diff mabe 5-10 time but i do wana tell you all that have helped thanks any more advice is welcome I purchased a shop manuel on line to help with the fix of this problem

 

When you put it in and out of diff lock it should make a noise. You can hear it engage. Can you hear it moving when you press the button?

 

no and should have ask if yours did in diff lock because i cant recall if it did i have had my wife push the button and i tap the diff case with a rubber hamer lightly just to see if its stuck from no use

 

I just checked mine. I turned on the key and did not start it. I pressed the 4x4 button and it make a noise as the 4x4 engages. I pressed the diff lock button and it makes the same noise. Then I unlocked the diff and turned 4x4 off and it makes the same noise each time. If yours is not making the noise it could suggest something is stuck, and it could suggest that it is not getting power. Could be a bad switch or bad wire or maybe a fuse. I would see about putting a test light on it to see if it is getting power.
