On my CanAm Defender (and likely many other CanAm vehicles) they use specific two pin connector for accessory power. Does anybody out there know that the specific type of connector this is? I've tried looking online, and I find close, but not exact. I tried contacting BRP, and they were no help. They just refer me to contact my dealer. Dealer doesn't know exactly what type of connector it is. I have attached pictures of the specific accessory connector (2 pin male and female end). Any help in ID'ing this type of connector would be appreciated, and I'm sure many others would greatly benefit from the information as well so we can purchase these type of connectors, and build our own wires for add-ons.....
2005 phoenix – missing kickstart??
Hi all,
So I picked up an 05 Phoenix and realized that not only the is the kickstart lever missing, there is no shaft!
So I have driven it around and everything appears/feels fine, I assume I have some missing pieces.
I assume this is not too difficult to take apart and inspect?
Thanks!

Idle problems
I have a 2013 500 Outlander xt. Back in November I had a problem getting it started. When it finally started it had no power. It had sat for a long time so I thought maybe bad gas, so I drained the tank and refilled with new gas and sea foam. I had to keep giving it throttle or it would shut off. After about 5 minutes it started to idle on it's own. After about 1/2 hour the idle would rev up and down so I put it away. Last week I tried to plow snow and had no power again. I pulled the plugs they were very black. After new plugs I seemed to get power back but still have idle problems. When I start it it idles fine, but if I hit the throttle it starts pulsating up and down between 2500 and 3500 rpms. I cant get it into gear. As I was going over it I pulled the air box plug and a bunch of oil came out. After a Google search realized when I layed it on its side a couple years ago oul got in. So I began to think oil gummed up throttle control valve, map sensor or idle bypass. Everything looked good and I cleaned the map sensor. Put everything back together but no change. Now I'm back to thinking bad gas so I pulled the fuel pump thinking maybe the sock would be clogged but it looked brand new. I'm getting a fuel pump test gauge tomorrow. Anyone have this problem before?
New owner, 850 SP
Hey All,
Just wanted to join up after lurking a little bit. I am going to be taking delivery of a leftover 18' 850 SP this week.
Wanted to check in and see if there are any issues I should be watching out for. I had a ranger I just sold and I know polaris can't hold a charge, so I already have the battery tender permanent connector planned. Anything else I should look for?
Getting a winch attached by the dealer and ordered front and rear bumpers I will put on myself from them. Eventually might plow with it, but not this year. Main use will be riding in the woods, working on trails/property and dragging a compost spreader. The tow capacity of the 850, is what pushed me over the edge from a few other options.
Anyways, hello!
:hand:

2008 Scambler 500 radiator fan stuck on when battery is connected.
I bought a 2008 Scambler 500 that had been sitting in a storage shed for at least 4 years. The bike was very clean looking, the fuel had been drained before it was stored but the coolant had not. There was a dead battery in this machine. So here is what I have done.
1. Bought a new battery.
2. Got my oldest son(12) to remove the old battery while I was at the part store picking up the new one. I was under the false impression I could put in the new battery and some fuel and ride the bike. LOL :eek
3. Connected new battery... And to my surprise the Radiator fan turned on and the lights worked that's it. The radiator fan will not shut off! Initially the red overtemp light on the console was on. now it no longer comes on just the fan when the battery is connected. No way it was too hot it's winter in Utah and this bike has not been run for years.
4. Started reading forums and Googling how to fix stuck on fan. Found common problems are Engine coolant sensor, Radiator sensor or ECM.
5. Topped off engine coolant as some had evaporated over the years in storage - no help.
6. Got a new engine coolant sensor - no help
My next step is to replace the radiator sensor but this part is a little more pricey then i want to spend on an educated guess. My question to you folks. Is there a more definite way to identify the bad part? And if so what is it?
Any info you might have would help even if it's a link to another thread here in the Forum. Thanks for reading this and happy ATVing. :grin

2000 Sportsman 500 fan not working
Hey guys. New to the forum but not to riding or to Polaris. I've been riding and wrenching on bikes, quads, and SXS's for over 35 years.
I bought an old 2000 Sportsman 500 a couple months ago to use for hunting. After repairing a couple of relatively minor issues, it runs and rides great but I cannot get the fan to work properly.
Here's what I've checked so far.....
(1) The fan works fine (checked it with a jumper)
(2) The circuit breaker is fine (unless there is another one that I'm not seeing).....verified voltage in and out with a meter
(3) The coolant sensor (on the radiator) is fine, but I replaced it anyway, just to see if there was any change and there was none. Interestingly, when I jumper wiring harness that the coolant sensor plugs into, the fan will come on.
(4) The only thing that I haven't checked or replaced is the temp sensor on the cylinder. From what I've read and based on my experience with other Polaris engines, the fan should default to on (fan should run) on when I unplug that wire.......but it does NOT come on when I unplug it.
Where do I need to go from here? I was going to replace the temp sensor, but because the fan doesn't run when I unplug that wire, I really don't think that's the issue. What am I missing?
