Hi All,
Newbie to the forum and unfortunately have spent hours upon hours trying to find the answer to the exact issue I am having. So here it goes…

2003 Polaris Sportsman 90 electrical is dead. 1st, a little background to what happened. The ATV was working fine, started up fine using the electric start and it took off and hit the hitch of a truck. Might have been a stuck open carb but I have not been able to replicate it since. Broke the fake light in the cowl.
Since then, there is no electrical at all.
No horn, tail light and no electric start.
It does however kickstart fine, usually 1st or 2nd try, but when running the horn and tail light still do not work at all.
I have bypassed all of the safety switches with jumper wires (wrist tether and brake switch)
I put a brand new battery in measuring 12.71 volts.
When the bike is running the red run/kill will turn it off. So will the key.
So, before I start dumping money into this thing, wondering if anyone can help me isolate probable cause and prioritize replacement components.
I am getting ready to sell it and want it in top working order prior to.
Any information or ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!
I am at wits end!
