Check Engine Code 55

Hi, brand new to the site and pretty new to ATV. I have a 2008 Sportsman 500 Touring EFI. About 3 months ago was having issues w/ battery holding a charge and it starting. I had to pull start often. It would run for an hour and then when I stopped for a break, it wouldnt turn over or even show a display. At the end, I got alot of backfiring and would run rough. Long story short I have since replaced battery, stator and voltage reg. which seemed to fix my issue w/ the starting.
But…now I get a check engine light. I ran thru the diagnostic mode and I get an error code 55. Per the book and several sites, its shows:
55 Diagnostic Lamp: Open Load
55 Diagnostic Lamp: Short Circuit to Ground
55 Diagnostic Lamp: Short Circuit To Battery

but I cant find hardly any info on what these codes actually mean, how to check them and most impt how to fix. Any help/direction you all can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Replacement SPAL radiator fan for 07 Sportsman 500 EFI

All

The OEM Polaris radiator fan is a SPAL VA55-AP12/CWP-54A fan. I just purchased a SPAL VA09-AP12/CWP-54A fan and the mounting brackets does not match up to the OEM SPAL fan.

Does anyone know the correct SPAL replacement fan for the OEM one?

Additionally, will I need to swap the motor and blad from the new to the old mount?

In the photos attached, the OEM fan is on the left.

98 Fourtraxx need help

I’m haVing trouble with some electrical issues I think lol. I have replaced the solenoid 3 times and I know all 3 are good. Let me explain, I can kick start the engine first time everytime,I can bypass the solenoid using jumper cables on the solenoid fires up everytime. Now if I kick start the engine and with the engine running I put the hot wire on the solenoid which has the 2 fuses in it which belongs on the solenoid I believe and the engine dies immediately. What would cause this cause I’m trying to hook a light bar and tailights on it but can’t cause I can’t hook up the solenoid unless someone knows another way thanks
