Hello Everyone,
First post here so bare with me. I purchased a used 06 magnum 330 at the beginning of the summer. My first major purchase other than my vehicle and I must say it has been a complete nightmare. I've rode it twice when I first got it and its been sitting inoperable for most of the summer... First fuel issues -> fixed, then air intake issues -> fixed (I think). Now I have an electrical issue :|
For specifically 2006 Polaris magnum 330's there are no circuit breakers in the pouches and no fuse boxes. There are fuse links which run from the started solenoid to a SSCB (I'm guessing a Solid State Circuit Breaker?). Figured I'd bring that up right away to avoid confusion.
Well I bought a brand new battery BEFORE I had the electrical issues (Duralast gold AGM, they have outstanding reviews *sarcasm*) so I've somewhat eliminate that as the issue in my mind. I will be hooking up to a load bank as soon as I can to test for certainty.
When the electrical issue first started, turning the ignition key with red button in center (on) would cause the starter solenoid to buzz but engine would not turn over (I can't recall if I had power elsewhere). I figured the battery must be dead, but had 12.6V. Hooked battery to trickle charger and tried again at full charge. This time the solenoid would not even whine. I've been disconnecting the positive terminal first and reading the user manual says the opposite (Did I possibly damage the battery or other electronics?). My next thought was to begin checking for voltage to the various components. I get voltage at the ignition key switch, the left handle bar engine kill switch, and the ECM.
I'm sort of lost at this point. If the fuse links blew then I shouldn't see voltage downstream right? Did I possibly fry my ECM? Maybe a bad key switch or engine kill switch? Or possibly just a typical bad Duralast battery?
I do very much appreciate any help. Summers almost over and I'd be ecstatic to end it on the trails. (Not broken down of course :wink)
Thanks
- Jake
