I need some help! My 660 is blowing a 30 amp fuse even though I haven’t turned on the key.
The story begins when I hooked a battery charger to the ATV to crank it. It barely had enough juice to turn over so I hooked up my battery charger and it cranked immediately. I know this was probably not the best idea b/c I usually disconnect the battery and charge it for a couple of hours. However, it cranked immediately and I drove it on my trailer. I left it idling as I drove to my camp. Once there, I drove it off the trailer and let it idle for a few more minutes while I put gas in another ATV. With everything ready to go, I hop on my Grizzly and didn’t get 30 yards down the road. The display with blank and the ATV died. I turned the key off and on but no lights. So I lifted the seat and started checking fuses. One of the 30 amp fuses was blown.
I’m attaching a picture I found on the internet of the fuse location. When I put a new fuse in the slot, and even with the key in the off position, the fuse started glowing. It blew that fuse. So, I’m figuring it shorted out. I thought maybe a wire dropped onto the hot motor and burned the insulation to cause a short but I notice these wires run along the frame and to the display on the handle bars. Has anyone else had a problem like this? I haven’t removed the front rack and covers yet.
