So I just traded my Bike for a Quad which happens to be a 2008 Polaris sportsman 800 HO EFI. I got it a few weeks ago and have been driving it without issue. The past few rides the Batt light was flashing throughout the ride. Yesterday (Canada Day July 1) I took off for a ride with a bunch of friends. The Batt light was flashing but no power loss. I started getting stuck and noticed that the 4 x 4 stopped working and I was only driving in 2 X 4. I got unstuck a few times using my winch. Finally I got stuck again and then the Winch stopped working. THe Batt light was still flashing and the first time I got it working again by revving the engine. However I was unsuccessful of getting unstuck and the winch stopped working. WHen I Pushed the button to activate the wince the Engine would start to die. Finally not being unstuck and with no winch the Engine died completely. I got a buddy to boost me and got started again. After having the booster cables on for about 10 mins I was able to drive it for a short period. Got stuck again and then the engine died again. I got towed out to the closest road. My buddy boosted me again and we left the cables on for another 10 mins. Got it started and I drove home (Approx 3 kms) without any issues at all. No batt light came on and everything seemed to work (4 X 4 unknown if it worked) I got home and had zero issues with my winch and was able to draw in my cable again. Current trouble shooting issues that I am doing at this point.
- removed Batt and testing it for Charging Issues.
I was told that it's possible that it could be my actuator but I have no clue what that is or how much something like that would cost or where it's even located. Does anyone have any other options that it may be? WHat else could be causing these issues?:yel:
