2004 Rancher 400 AT code 12 stuck in safe mode

Hello, I am new to the forum and appreciate all the I’ve already read. My problem is I have an 04 rancher AT 4×4 that is driving me nuts. I have done about everything I can think to solve my code 12 problem.. Replaced the shift motor, ecm, new angle sensor (preloaded), new esp shift buttons, but the code 12 still shows on the display. I cannot get all the way through the intitial setup for the ecm since the code will not clear. I have never heard the shift motor even attempt to work unless I put direct voltage to the 5p connector at the ecm. Can anyone lead me to the promised land of non frustration?

Hello all you Can Am’ers out there. I’m not only new to the forum, but new to the quaddin thing too. Luckily it looks as though I picked the right machine. I live on the west coast of Newfoundland where there’s more dirt roads and trails than there is paved roads so I got lots to explore. Looking forward to sharing and researching tech and repair tips. This forum has already helped me a few times with advice and tips so hopefully I can also contribute. My ride is an ’09 Outty 800 Max LTD, with power steering kit, Can Am snow plow, 12"LED light bar and newly installed Wes Industries rear cargo box. :aniwheeler6:

XMR Plastics and Snorkels

Hey Guys.

I bought my 2016 850 XMR this past summer and have been having a blast with it. I havn’t liked the white on it though and it seems to be getting stained. I’ve just taken it off and painted it with a black plastic enamal paint and then clear coated the enamal. If this ends up scratching does anyone have any suggestions on how to keep the plastic painted black? I also have the Can-Am snorkel kit but want to raise my belt intake and exhaust as well. Who all has done this and what is the best route to run the piping? Thanks!

Best GPS Map Ap for smartphones?

I’ve been using a bicycling ap called Strava. It shows start location using GPS and a map of the area using Google Maps. This is a good tool for seeing trail options and finding the way back to the starting point but it could be much better because Google Maps sometimes shows roads that don’t exist or are closed and often doesn’t show good trails.

To see trails that aren’t shown in Google Maps I click out of Strava and open Google Earth to see the Satellite view. Switching out of Strave to Google Earth is a nuisance. Is there a good ap that includes both?

Here is my wish list:
Satellite view
Street and trail maps
Streets, dirt roads and trails clearly differentiated
Real time update of current location
Accurate for the Lake Tahoe area.
Ability to make pinpoint notes about specific trails like:
Closed in winter, Real rocky, steep climb, bears, mud, naked chics…. The usual important things.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Doug

Need/WANT a new Carb

Should I spend the cash and get an OEM Yamaha from 2Wheelpros.com ($415)/ Partzilla ($352) .. or go the cheaper E-bay way? ($100)
Does it matter? Price is not the issue but if the $100 one is just as good as the $415/$352 one.. ????????????
You can see where someone along the life of this thing has JB Weld a crack in the bowl
