Welcome to the board!

More info needed.
Does it crank over? Do you hear a clicking noise when trying to start? Does it idle but dies when let off throttle? Does it do anything?

[mi500]

no cranking ,the thing just quit ,there no juice to the instrument panel,no clicking at all.talked to the shop and they think its ecm ?

[pathfinder]

Wow, that sucks. Not sure how figure out if it is the ecm or not. It does seem to be the ecm because from what I have read here on the forum the symptoms you are experiencing is what happens when it goes bad. I haven't had any issues with mine. Hopefully someone else can step in and help you out with that.

Hello , I just went through the same thing with mine , 2007 500 sportsman. it was the ecm .

There is a red wire coming from the starter solenoid going to the pod; it supplies power to the ignition. It should have a black seal pouch in it somewhere, with a fuseable link or a fuse in it and it has more than likely blown.

thanks every body for all the info ,got it figured out ,yellow wire that feeds the ignition switch was cut .funny thing back in 2010 the head light quit working took in to shop and they said a wire was broke spliced and that wire is yellow also ? no other wire looked damaged .
