Winch Solenoid Wiring Question

2008 Sportsman 500 EFI
Warn winch with handlebar control

No voltage at the winch terminals when on the machine (winch works fine when jumped to battery).

Switch appears to test ok.

I'm assuming the problem is in the contactor/solenoid. When I check the two small wires that go into the solenoid (the same wires that connect to the switch), I have continuity between them. My guess is that means the solenoid is shot and is allowing contact.

Does anyone know the correct way to test these wires?

Thanks in advance.

Cvtech question

Just got my brand new cvtech in. Today. Been watching videos on installing it. Question: some people show that they remove the black plate on the inside of the clutch. Should I and what are the benefits of leaving it and removing it?

School me on batteries

The (stock) Yuasa YTX20L-BS served me perfectly for 8 years .
Do I need an AGM ?
One more resistant to shock ?
One that can be tipped upside down ?
One that smells like fresh strawberries ?

A little confused .

Alpine flex plow

This is my first act plow. I have the alpine flex and so far love it. The only thing I am curious about is the blade. Since this plow is so
Light, will it not be able to scrape the blacktop? I even tried taking to plow shoes off, but no difference. Any suggestions, or is that just how there are?

Big trailer (2 utv, 1 ATV) recommendation

I am looking for a big trailer to tote 2 maverick 1000's and an ATV. I found the perfect trailer (6' X 24' ECHO ELITE EEW-24-14T HUB-Elite) but the nearest dealer is over 1000 miles away and the shipping would be $2k+. I am located in upstate NY.

Anybody got a good recommendation for a big trailer?

Much thanks!

Shorted temp sensor wires out,2004 polaris sportsman 500HO

2004 Polaris sportsman 500HO If someone can help me out it would be very much appreciated, I accidentally shorted out the two wires going to the coolant heat sensor right where they plug into the sensor on the left side of the engine for the fan & lost all electrical power to everything now & I have checked for relays in the bags & it does not have them like the older models that I could find, from what I have learned the 2004.5 & up do not have them kind of relays, so what did I burn up??? Does it have a fuse or fusible link or something somewhere that it could be??
