Hello everyone,
i am new here so if i should direct this to a different part of the forum, please let me know. I have a 2001 or 2002, not sure, Sportsman 500 HO. I bought used and purchased it in 2005. Never had issues. I replaced the battery a couple months ago and all was well.
I went to start it and found 0 operation. No lights, no display, nothing. I pull started it and it did run but know that every thing was running off the battery due to the fact the lights would brighten when throttled up and dim when idle.
i have electric experience so I had volts at the battery and not out of the solenoid with key on. I checked the circuit breakers in the bags and no in or out.
I don't mind chasing voltage so thought i would see if anyone had an idea before i tear apart the run switch.
thank You!
Tim
