Just discovered this site when I discovered I coudnt get my quad started. So, new member here hoping for some help.
Bear with me, this is a weird one:
2009 Polaris Sportsman, Touring 500 efi;
Yesterday, coming out of the bush and engine dies. Turn the key, nothing. Jiggle the handle bars left and right, turn the key, it starts for about five seconds and check engine light comes on and dies. Happens repeatedly but cant move machine because it dies every time I move.
Tow machine back to house.
Battery fully charged. Cables to battery and solenoid tight. Turn handle bars to the right, turn key, nothing. Handle bars straight, turn key, nothing. Wait for it::tired: turn handle bars left and turn key, fires up no problem. While running, turn handle bars straight, engine dies, panel cluster goes blank, like no battery in machine. Do this repeatedly with the same results.
Turn handle bars straight and jiggle wire cluster coming out of the bottom of the panel cluster and headlight container. Jiggle wires just right and panel cluster comes to life and I can start the machine.
WTF
HELP.
What is the problem here and has anyone else had this problem.
also, how do I fix this.
Thank you in advance for any advice you can give.
Regards,
Max
