Hello everyone, my name is Trent and I am new to the forum and the Polaris ATV world. I have a 99 Polaris sportsman 500 that has been sitting out in the weather for about 3 years and I am trying to get it running. The motor turns over if you jump across the starter, so that is good. I have no power from the key switch. I have a new battery and both of the circuit breakers are good in the black bean bags and I have power to the connection board (Where all wires plug into) from the battery, but the power ends there. I am missing the upper housing and speedometer, but have all of the lights in the except for the blue one and i’m not sure what that one is for. It is also missing the master cylinder, but I don’t think that would have any sort of electrical effects. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
