I am working on a sportsman 500 HO EFI 2006 model year for my friend and have 0 experience with polaris ATVs. What he said happened is he hooked up the battery wrong this spring, the atv cranked over and died. He put in a new solenoid and not it has no power to anything. What I have done to it.
I replaced the fusible link coming off the red wire to the solenoid. Still no power. I have power from the battery to the solenoid.
I do not have power on the other side of the solenoid the fusible link hooks into.
It will crank the engine over if I jump the terminals.
I found the original solenoid and the blue wire in the connector is melted right off
My question is what is down stream from that blue wire to begin testing, and where would find a decent a wiring diagram online? I have not been able locate one. I have found lots of the service manuals for my arctic cats but the polaris manuals seem to be not available unless you order one from a dealer.
I have pictures of the wiring, the burnt out solenoid, and the VIN if you need that for more information.
Thank you for your help
