Hi all,
I am new to the forum, and have looked for info without success, on how to wire up my new LED tail lights on my machine. First, where the heck are wiring schematics for these things, ATVs. It’s as if Polaris sees these things as top military secrets! The dealer had something, but would not share or print me a copy, but I refuse to believe there are no wiring diagrams available somewhere? :bam:
Anyway, to my problem. I have a new brighter set of LED tail lights I want to install on my 570. I managed to get the wiring for a tail light, but it won’t work when connected correctly. It seems both the brake wire & tail light wire have voltage on them all the time. Normally, as a car would have, when the lights are on, you have voltage on the tail light wire and none on the brake wire. The brake wire gets voltage when the brake is pressed. But on the Polaris, if the brake is pressed the voltage is cut off on the brake light, leaving you with no brake light. Why does Polaris do this? Is there a work around. Detailed instructions please if someone has made this modification. Do I need to install a another relay or move some wiring around? :silvia:
