You need to change your approach to solving a problem by testing to find out which parts are problems before installing untested parts that may unwittingly introduce new problems.

Step by step:
Installing the battery backwards is only a problem for the charging system and starter motor - the lights, fuses and electric motors don't care which way the current is flowing.

Not charging and no lights are two separate problems - work on getting the light working first. The CDI is not connected to the battery so it was not affected by battery polarity. When all else is repaired and the engine is running, then work on the charging system.

 

Hey, late bird.Sorry to bother you on a Sunday.But I heard you was the man to talk to on this floors.Is there any way that we could talk other than all this texting?I'm not very good at it

 

So the lights first. I might be able to check the past post on this forum. Then second will be trying to run the engine last will be the charging.
I was so paranoid that the guys might have fried the stator.
Might check the wires going to the lights and circuit breakers though.

 

Btw can I change the circuit breakers into the fuses? It's so hard find find 10 amp circuit breakers, went to Napa and AutoZone yesterday and the only have 20 amps and up. Just to go there I need to travel atleast 1 hour and 30 mins since I live quite far from those area that sells auto parts

Thanks for the manual.

 

Yes - the CBs can be replaced with fuses, but CBs are self resetting and will handle momentary over current situations without tripping. Fuses on the other hand are fast acting and once blown must be replaced.

10A circuit breakers are not too hard to find - they are used on Harley Davidson motorcycles

I keep a couple on hand just for 'what if' situations. They are only $10 each (about the cost of an inline fuse holder and a pkg of 5 fuses). I have seen more circuit breakers fail due to vibration more than any other cause.

 

The nearest Harley Davidson dealer on my place is Santa Fe, more than an hour drive. Just ordered some online, and it's snowing right now ( I live west of the vales caldera) haha I should have got the fuse holder yesterday, have a gut feeling I need those, just learned 15 mins ago about the story of the quad, it is from his deceased brother he wants it on operation condition that will always remind him of his brother. Gonna check it if its not snowing and not so cold. Thanks for your replies sir gonna keep you guys updated.

 

You could crimp a 1/4" spade terminal to the wires and put a blade type fuse in line - just wrap the repair with electrical tape.

 

Hey latebird..sorry to bother you on a sunday..but is there a way we could talk other than all this texting?? I heard you were the man to chat with on these polaris

 

Ok just tested the circuit breakers, both terminals negative part of tester goes to bolt mounted on the chassis, reading @ 12.7* something same as the battery. What would I test next?

 

From the frame or other good ground, is there 12v on any red/wht (not wht/red) wire with the key switch on?

 

It's snowing again, I'm going to run outside as soon as it stops, is that red/white wire enclosed inside the harness? Or can I use the end of it on the junction box?
Looking at the diagram, I can see red/what on ignition switch and left handle bar switch, are those the ones you want me to test if the weather calms down a bit?, I will try later if that's the case.

Thanks

 

The red/wht wire goes to everything that needs DC power with the key on.

Not to be confused with the one wht/red wire that goes from the starter button to the solenoid.

 

Ok sir going to try that if the weather permits.
Thank you

 

Sir there is no 12 volts on those red/what wires
