Need a quick fix

[4chevys4me]

02 sportsman 500 HO. 1. What goes wrong with the speedo? Are they fixable? Crappy design to run everything through them. Bad Polaris Bad>>>I could care less about the speedo (nor would I wear one). What is the easiest way to bypass this system so My 4x4 works. I have Neutral light, speeedo back lit light, needle wont budge and I have the Reverse indicator light. Is this a sensor issue or speedo? Any help and specific instructions would be great. I have searched and there is just too many answers. I am a wounded MX guy making the switch to this 4x4 area and need some help. I have found this site to be most helpful. Thank you in advance..

I think I saw you answer in "Instrument Cluster Problem 04 Sportsmen" thread, a couple of posts down about how somebody spliced wires underneath the speedo to bypass.

I had this problem on my 01 sportsman on back of speedo there was a plug that had 6 wires I spliced into the 2nd wire in from each side of plug and ran them to a water proof switch now I have to flip 2 switches for 4wd no big deal a new speedo was over $300 so this is how I fixxed it hope this helps

Why two switches? Is there a way to bypass this and still use the stock switch?

yeah you could just splice the 2 wires togather I just felt better putting in a switch
