I’ve got an 03 Honda recon that has progressively had more issues shifting over time, however, I bought a newer bigger rancher to take its place. The issue is I REALLY need the recon up and running again because we have plans to go wheeling on some of our land in the near future. Before I bought the rancher, if I kept the lights on too long it’d blow the 15 amp fuse that controlled the lights and the electric shifting. No big deal, just keep the lights off. Eventually It would just randomly quit shifting and be stuck in gear and the neutral light/headlights(if they were on) would get dim but get bright if I revved it. I solved that issue by shaking the ground wire. I would just do that every half hour of use of so. Then I bought the rancher and quit using the recon for about three months. I went out today and tired to fire it up but the battery is completely trashed (like there is a drain) and when I jumped it it would not come out of 2nd no matter what. I got if out of gear manually and put charger the on high and it will start but still no shift. Unless the charger is on high there is a ticking noise coming from the some computer looking deal in the front of the quad. When it is running the neutral light is still dim until revved. The first gear light now blinks 8 times which is apparently the angle sensor, control motor, or ecu. What do I need to do to track this down?
I really really need help!!
Thanks
