Hello everyone! This is my first post here, but I have been lurking for the past few months when I bought my 2009 Polaris Sportsman 500 HO atv last fall. It has been a good atv after I spent some time giving it some love and TLC.

Before winter, I added the 3-headlight mod and the reverse override mod, using fully weatherproof sealed Hella relays. Everything worked perfect all winter for plowing snow and going ice fishing. ATV sat for a month this spring and I rode it a few weeks ago, and noticed I wasn’t getting the "R" for reverse to show up on the display. I have a toggle switch in line to disable the override so it is back to stock as well, but still no "R". I pull the headlight cover off to access my relays and wiring and everything looks good. I pulled all of my power from the red/yellow wire that would feed the reverse lights if I actually had them.

What I found was that I had no power on the red/yellow wire. I used the atv a few times since then, and once, everything started working correctly again, and the red/yellow wire had power. The next day, same thing, no power on red/yellow wire.

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what is causing this issue??? It seems like the red/yellow wire is the power source for everything that isn’t working. Can someone point me in the right direction please??

Thanks in advance everyone!!!
