bright lights snowmobile
My snowmobile stopped producing electricity for the light, handwarmers, and electronic display any ideas?
Runs perfect, but lights went dim, handwarmers were not really working. Digital display would only work if hand-warmers were turned off. I have a 07 Polaris 700 Dragon RMK. There is no battery, but the digital display flashed low power in the right hand side of the screen when on. The lights were a bit brighter when there was no pull from the hand-warmers. Seem to be all connected to the same electrical issue that is going on. Happened to anyone else out there?
I have a 1985 Yamaha Phazer, that this happened to. My hand warmers all but quit, my headlight quit, and, so did the tail light as well. But, it ran fine. Well, after a extensive search of the entire sled, it turned out, that the light coil, inside the flywheel had shorted out. This was caused by two of the wires that had gotten pinched in the steering coloum. The steering coloum had partically cracked, and the wires had gotten caught in there, and, everytime you’d turn the handle bars, they would move in a way they weren’t supposed to, due to the weakend state of the steering coloum. So, I had to repair the coloum, first, then, repair the wiring, then, figure out what to do aout the light coil. A new one was available, but, it was way more than I wanted to spend, so, I bypassed the light coil, and, unhooked the wires from the hand warmer coil, also located inside the flywheel, and, figured out which wires would connect correctly to the head light. This being done, I started the sled, and checled the lights… All systems were a go. I just didn’t have any hand warmers, cause the headlights were now in their place, instead. Now, onto your problem… It could be a light coil. hand warmer coil, or it could be a charging coil, as well. There also may be a fuse that has blown, as well. Now, when you say there is no battery, I am going to assume, you mean it is a manual start. Cause if it is supposed to have a battery, you may need to replace it. Either way, it sounds like a charging issue to me. Which could be the charging coil, or, the voltage regulator. You may be best off, taking the sled to the Polaris dealer, and let them ind the problem. For if it happens to be one og the coils, inside the flywheel, you’ll need to take it to them, anyway, cause they have the tools needed to remove the coils, and other parts, that need to be removed to gain access to the coils.
