2000 Sportsman 500, light problem

Hello,
I have a 2000 Sportsman 500 and the low beam lights are not working. Also before this happened, my speedo had quit working. The speedo has been out for a while but the Low Beams just quit working. The High Beam still works. Is there a fuse or breaker to check? Or is there something else to check?

Battery. Is it cold? I wonder what the sequence of failure for Polaris is when you have a bad battery? My winch went, then the throttle, but not the lights. Check the battery, the cold will kill it.

Battery is new. On the 2000 Sportsman 500 the Low beams consist of two lights, they both went out at the same time. Are there fuses that can be checked? Or some kind of relay?

I think your headlight has to be replaced if one of your bulbs is burnt.I'm guessing if one of the bulbs work , then the fuse is not the problem.
If your speedo is not working , your hall effect sensor is probably shot. It should be on the right side front caliper bracket.(around $50)
