Push button switch

Ok guys I got the top end rebuild done and my 01 xplorer 250 runs great. Now my push button switch, headlights, fan and 4×4 button do not seem to be working. I found some cut wires under the front cowl and I have repaired those. I thought maybe it killed the sealed circuit breaker under the seat but that checks good. I guess my question is what else can check? Thanks for any help.

1000 scrambler revs fine in park but runs one one cylinder in gear???????

So i have a 2014 1000 scrambler, was working fine.. Now in gear it will only go like 70 km, idles around fine, revs in gear fine, but as soon as you try to floor it, its dien for power and running on one cylinder, almost seems like theres some sort of limiter or limp mode of some sort, any suggestions would be gear, took it to the dealer and no codes are comming up, anything would be a help thanks!

overheating Sportsman 500 HO

I started about this yesterday but seems to have been removed so here it goes again with a little more info!

On Monday past the other half and I were out for a ride and at about 45 kms from our truck our machine over heated. As title states its a 2013 Sportsman500 HO Touring. So when it over heated I shut it off and tried turning the key forward to run the fan to help in cooling…the fan did not come on!! So basically we were pretty much stranded. So I cut about 2 to 3 feet of the cord off my 12v tire pump and stuck 2 ends in the fan plug and plugged it in to the 12V outlet and success…the fan worked.

Got her home and figured that since the problem is not the fan then maybe the 50V relay is the problem. Got a new relay from my dealer at almost $60, put it in and still the same….overheating.

Now I need help, I don’t know what to touch next. Any suggestions are certainly welcomed!

Thanks

95 425 Mag Fuel is in my oil

Hey Guys and Gals, I’m new to the forum but old to Polaris. Can someone out there give me some help? I have a 1995 425 Mag 4X4. I bought it new. About 1 year ago I noticed my engine oil smelled like Gas. I took to my dealer and he replaced the petcock and rebuilt the carb. Well a few months ago I noticed it doing it again. A friend says the petcock may be bad but I didn’t think leaving the fuel on would cause that. Any suggestions?

Thanks
