Hi all I am brand new to this site so first off I would like to say Hello to all First.

Now I guess down to the meat and potatos of it all.

I have a 2011 polaris 550 x2 with efi.

My fan stopped working so I started to try to problem solve it but ran out of ideas. I tested the fan to see if that was the culprit but i wasn't it works if I use jumper wires.

Is there another solution you can all help me with?

I am looking at a sensor and if so where abouts would it be on my quad or is it worst case scenario and I might have to look at the ecu?

Thanks all in advance.

Greetings! Best thing you can do is download the service manual for your machine. They can be found on this forum for free.
A couple of things to check: fan relay, temp sensor and there is a circuit breaker within the wire loom next the battery (at least on my 550 it is).
I had the same issue once. It was the circuit breaker.

The sensor is in the thermostat housing, left side of the engine where the upper radiator hose connects. There is also a relay in the fuse box for the fan, swap it with another one to see if that changes anything. There is a 10 amp circuit breaker in the harness next to the fuse box too, see if you have power going through it to the fuse box.

I've been struggling with the same issue on my 2014 400 sportsman. I jumpered the relay contacts for the fan but the circuit still lost voltage. I traced back to the fan circuit breaker next to the battery. I've replaced it but haven't been back to the trail for a long ride to see if the problem is corrected.

Alright thanks all I will give it a shot here in the morning and I'll see what I can find out and hopefully it isn't to major. Thanks for the info and I'll let you all know what the cause was here as soon as I get er working.

Thanks all for the help. All the help was much appreciated on my end here. I got er working. It was a relay so I swapped it out and it works. As well I found a whole lot of snow and ice in the fan as well so I cleaned that up so as that wouldn't cause a problem as well.

This website has lots of useful information as well and I am glad I joined. As a newcomer to atv'ing and since I need one for the country I'll be sure to adding more posts here on things I learn to share to others and to rely on as well.

Thanks again

Curtis
