My VIN is 4XAPB20A15T002608. and finally, 4. Where is the best place to buy parts online? Thank you for taking the time to help out.

2002 Sportsman 500HO – AWD/Speedometer/ Hall Sensor
After searching/reading a number of posts on this forum, I thought that I had identified the problem, and was close to fixing it......
Original issues: AWD not working, speedo needle jumping/erratic, and dies/stalls when shifted into reverse if the override button wasn't pressed.
Other posts pointed me towards the Hall Sensor, so I disconnected it and voila- AWD began functioning and it no longer died when shifted into reverse, and of course the speedo didn't work at all. I should also mention that the speedo backlight was intermittent and would sometimes flicker, which wasn't a big concern. I ordered a new Hall sensor and installed it last night. After installation, the AWD no longer works, and when the speedo flickers (seems to correspond with steering turns) it will kill the machine regardless of moving forward or backwards. With the speedo plugged in, if it is lit up, the machine will not start/run. Even after unhooking the new Hall sensor, I once again have no AWD (which I'm now unsure why I had AWD after unhooking the old Hall Sensor). Keeping the speedo unplugged allows me to drive the machine, but I need AWD (I'm a land surveyor and get in a lot of rough places).
Voltages on the 6 pin speedo wire (key on, not running):
A - (red/white stripe) 11.86v
B - (brown) .515v
C - (black) 11.61v
D - (yellow/red stripe) .818v
E - (brown/white stripe) 11.91v
F - (grey/orange stripe).515v
Is there an explanation for what I'm seeing, or did the speedo just decide to fully die?
(Seems unlikely given the voltage readings, but) Are the brown & brown/white stripe wires coming to the speedo, the same ones mentioned in the connecting/grounding videos/posts for an AWD fix, located under the front cover/near the front rack (I haven't been in there recently, as I have to remove my storage to access the rack bolts)?
What other options do I have to get my AWD working?
Thanks!
Robert

Outlander 450L 4×4 issue
Hey guys I have a almost new 450L. Last weekend we took it out and was cleaning the mud off of it by driving though some shallow water when the belt started slipping. I found that the breather hose for the belt was disconnected causing water to get inside the belt case. No problem I drained the water let the belt dry out a bit then was on my way again. But later on realized in 4x4 my front wheels were not spinning. I tried to engage and disengage the 4x4 switch with no luck. The light is on and you can here the actuator working but no power to the front tires. Has anyone else had this issue? Thanks

Bent tie rod questions
I bent the right tie rod last weekend. We used a ratchet strap to straighten it a bit and rode it the rest of the weekend. After some research on here I was thinking of buying American Star Heavy Duty 4130 Chromoly Racing Tie Rods and some new OEM ends. I would use the left tie rod and the ends on the damaged one for spares if the ends aren't too damaged. Does the OEM Tie-Rod Ass'y PN#703500783 come with the ends or are they separate? Are their better ends that may be cheaper?
I added some pics. If you wouldn't mind, can you look at them and see if I damaged anything else? Any advice on this issue would be appreciated. I am not a great mechanic but with the manual and some tips form the forums, I can usually manage most projects.
