I have a 01 Sportsman 400 with a dead battery and is installed. I pull started it and took it for a ride. Besides a couple of things that didn't work that I understand wouldn't with a dead battery the all wheel drive wouldn't kick in. It never failed me before. The words "All Wheel Drive" at the switch light up. I'm guessing it's aslo because of the battery. But would like to know for sure without spending $ on a battery.

umm to save money go to your local autozone and let them put the battery on a trickle charge for a day or two and see what happens they will tell u if u need a new one or not

if battery is bad it will cause lots of problems, dont turn headlights on with dead or no battery ,it will blow all the bulbs, the battery acts as a buffer in charging system, if its bad replace it
