My 2004 (manufactured 2003) Polaris sportsman 500 was operating normally, the next time I went to use it there was not power to anything except high headlights(low headlights didn’t work before this issue). I double checked that the battery was charged. I tested all three of the self resetting fuses under the front panel and all have battery voltage to both the input and output wires. Any fixes/ideas?

Check your grounds.

Also do you have power to the ignition switch?

At the ignition switch there is power between the black wire and the red w/ white but not between the brown and the red w/ white. From my understanding, both are grounds. Would this be a grounding issue between frame ground from battery and where the ignition switch gets it brown wire ground?
