I'm installing a heated thumb warmer and have disconnected the headlight pod. Reconnecting the wiring I found that there are (2) two wire connections. Whiich one goes to the differential switch and can I use the other for the thumb warmer or heated grips if I install them. Thanks

The 2008 Sportsman 500 has brown and orange/white wires in the headlight pod for accessory connections - org/wht is 12v+ and brown is ground

latebird, do you know which connector (wire colors) go to the differential switch?

 

[latebird]

Differential switch? What model do you have? Are you referring to the AWD switch or do you have a model with turf mode?

latebird Turf mode switch. Sportsman 500 EFI Touring

The only model that I can find with a diff lock switch is the 2008 Sportsman X2 500 EFI, X2, QUAD

Wires going to the switch are Brown (ground) and a grey wire with a red stripe

I'll take a look and let you know.

Here's the wiring diagram that shows a diff lock and a work light switch on the harness. I can't read wire colors, if they are listed. https://www.polarisparts123.com/oemparts/a/pol/50354cd9f870023684111b2e/electrical-harnesses
