Can anyone tell me what this part does? Will everything continue to work if it is disconnected? What does it hook to:?
Second trip to Moab (2018)
Just got back from our second trip to Moab (April 27 - May 5). Wife and I pulled the Polaris 550's out for the second year in a row.
Preparations for the second trip were much easier...knew exactly what to bring, trailer prep was much quicker, ATV's were maintenanced and ready to roll.
Told the wife to be prepared for some challenges...as last year's trip was waaaaay to easy and uneventful. Those words turned out to be spot-on. Less than two hours in to our trip the Big Block threw a check engine light. Thankfully my good friend is service manager at GM dealership. Fourteen years of ownership and I've never seen the check engine light on this truck. Stopped at O'Reilly's and rand the ODB2 scan...MAF sensor needed cleaning, and we were back on the road.
We break the drive up by staying in our neighbor's condo in Georgetown, Colorado. Next morning we were loading up the truck and prepared for the trek over the pass...and I noticed a puddle of fluid under the truck(?). Crawled around and yes, it was coming from my truck(!). A text, call and some photos to my buddy and we determined the water pump had probably took a crap. So called dealerships in Denver asking 1), could you get me in today, and 2), could you get a water-pump for a 8.1 GM V8? Emich Chevrolet in Loveland was very helpful...we were in by noon and walking out by 5:15 pm, my wallet $850 lighter, but very thankful we didn't lose another day. Dealership was awesome!!
Remainder of the drive was uneventful mechanically. Beautiful scenery.
Arriving at Moab, our AirBnB was located on road right next to Swanny City Park...and there was a car show. We had to ask police to help us get past barricades and blocked roads to our rental. He suggested we get out of town before 3 PM, the time when all the cars would leave the show and start cruising main-street. We made it out and headed to Gemini Bridges and Metal Masher...and then this...
Last year was our first big ATV trip. I started the wife off on some easier trails, built her confidence and awareness. For some stupid reason I thought Metal Masher would be a good place to start this year. Nope.
It's just the two of us and I'm pretty conservative on the trails. If the obstacle looks to much, I opt for the by-pass, or I offer to drive the wife's ATV for that part.
This section of Metal Masher was a u-shaped ledge that I was able to get up with little problem. Wife got up okay, then caught some traction on right side and pulled her ATV up causing an extreme angle. Shen panicked a little and applied throttle, pulling her further up the side...and started to tip backwards. Thankfully I was standing right there spotting and was able to grab on and holder her steady. I couldn't pull her down straight...the "slick-rock" was too tacky. So we winched her down straight.
It was definitely a pucker-moment for both of us.

2015 850 SP Power Steering Loss
Been a long time since I needed help, but I’m back. Google searches aren’t getting me anywhere.
Was riding my 2015 850 SP today. Noted when I get above 30 MPH the cluster reads OC 16.8, or as much as OC 17.7. When this happens the power steering stops working and it starts pulling to the right. Steer left a little to stay straight and then slow down a bit and suddenly power steering comes back on. Because I’m steering to the left, I suddenly veer left, almost die, lose continence of bowel, swear, be happy the steering is working, speed back up, repeat.
The best I can find in the manual is that there is an error code called “Steering Over Current Shut Down.” But I’ll be darned if I can find a fix. Anyone got any suggestions? I’m open to ideas.

Steering Play Fix
I spent the better part of my day servicing the beast.
Last night I installed my Cecco Diff cover. This morning I went and picked up some diff fluid to replace what I lost during the install. While there I figured I’d snag a inner/outer tie rod ends as I’ve generated some play in my steering from left to right.
While talking with my service tech, he told me about a trick.
Below the power steering unit, there is a stem that connects to the bracket where your tie rod ends connect. He said to check that for play. I told him I was aware but that I had tightened that bolt already and it hasn’t helped and that the bolt was as tight as it could be. He said, nonono, drip RED loctite in the splines of the lower steering stem and let it dry. Once it’s dry, drip some more, repeat one more time and let it sit over night and then tighten that bolt again.
I figure what do I have to lose...?
As soon as I got back from the dealer I followed his directions. I left to go install a water heater at one of my rental properties, came back and tightened that bolt down. In the process, I snapped the bolt... I snapped that garbage, stretched Polaris provided bolt with a 1/4” drive with a long ass extension! Piece of garbage!
I went to Lowe’s and picked up a hardened steel replacement, came home, fiddle dicked around trying to get the nut on the other side, placed some RED loctite on it and cranked that bitch down.
Steering play is GONE! Feels like a brand new machine again!
The idea behind the RED loctite is to obviously stiffen it up in there, but also to harden and keep water and mud out as it does corrode and wear!
