New to the group and this is my first posting.

I am having difficulty with AWD on a 2004 Polaris 500 HO. Symptoms include:

The light does come on when the AWD switch is turned in.

The AWD will work when the override button is depressed before shifting into a forward gear. The unit remains in AWD while accelerating or traveling at a constant speed. The unit remains in AWD with the override button released until the throttle is released and the unit decelerates.

Also how can I determine if this is an early 2004 or a late 2004 machine.

Thanks for the help

AWD issue

Not certain about the ECM. It's not my machine but a friends. Appears to be charging. when running, battery showing 13.5 volts. Will be testin alternator when we get it a bit more disassembled.

It's the awd light burned out?

 

[Papaski]

Yes it is

Fix the light. Sounds stupid, but it won't engage with a burnt out bulb.

Thanks, really does not sound stupid. Will the entire switch need replacing or can I just replace the bulb.

 

[RVS Performance]

You can just replace the bulb

Thanks for your patience and assistance. Will get a bulb and let you know how it works out.
