polaris hawkeye 4x4 engaging problem

mrcln1 · #1 (**permalink**) 01-30-2010, 08:33 PM

I purchased an 06 Polaris Hawkeye a few weeks ago and the awd will not engage. I'm not familiar with this system and have not idea where to start. It doesn't seem to work at all. Atv runs great otherwise. I don't hear anything when I engage the switch and don't know if I should. We have 10 inches of snow now and the front wheels aren't turning at all with the switch engaged. Please help.

Thanks,

George

I went out tonight and changed the diff fluid. I also checked to make sure I'm getting juice to the switch and diff. Power is getting to both. After changing the fluid I jacked it up and the wheels would turn in reverse with the override switch pressed but I could stop them with my hand. The same in forward but easier to stop. Sometimes neither would turn. They seemed to turn more when the wheels were off. I'm not familiar at all with the internal workings of these diffs so any help would be appreciated. I did use the correct diff fluid.

Thanks,

George

It has to have a good battery.

And you can also check the wires that go into the differential mine were loose that why mine did not work.Let me know if you have anymore questions.
