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??

800 delayed throttle response

Hi guys,

We've had some extremely cold weather here in PA over the last few weeks. I was plowing recently and had the low battery indicator. I figured the plow was drawing a lot of voltage but it never shut down on me. While I was plowing I noticed a significant loss in power. I would be on the throttle and it wouldn't respond until a few seconds later causing me to take off. I would describe it as a sluggish feeling. Other times I'll get on the throttle and it won't do anything. I thought that maybe it was the weather or my battery.

The battery was installed last winter and the connections are secure. The weather finally hit over 50 today so I fired the quad up and it is still continuing to have that delay in the throttle and very low power so it's not the cold weather.

Any idea what is wrong with it?

Has My UTV Transmission Gone Bad?



Has my UTV transmission gone bad? That’s what one of our readers wants to know about his squealing Polaris Ranger and he’s asked the ATV AnswerMan for help.

Here is exactly what reader Jadie asked the AnswerMan, followed by his response:

Quote:
My brothers 2014 popo ranger hunting rig is making awful noise and we cannot figure out why. It sounds like the transmission is broken or breaking and when running down the highline or water break roads during duck season it just squeals so loud and it seems like it is right under the seat. I think it even shakes a bit but we have big tires on for mud so I am not really sure. Sometimes when he backs up it sounds like there is gravel in the transmission. Do you think the motor or transmission is bad? The motor oil was changed and is good and the transmission has enough in it too. We need help fast because it is going to be spring soon.
