How do you test a Polaris Ranger voltage regulator?
The best way to test a voltage regulator is with a multimeter, and what you do is you put your multimeter clamps directly on the battery terminals. Positive read to positive and black to negative. And you said it to voltage, and with the car off, you should have a little over 12 volts. That’s that’s a healthy battery.
Why is my Polaris Ranger battery not charging?
Check the voltage on the alternator input to the voltage regulator. If its 15v, or higher, your alternator is putting out voltage. If at the same time, the battery is at 12v and the VR is not letting that voltage through to the battery terminal, your VR is bad.
Why is the power steering on my Ranger not working?
The other thing that is going on is the Electronic Power Steering will quit working after a couple minutes of starting the ranger. I have checked all connections and nothing is bad or loose so I am puzzled on these issues.
Why is my Polaris Sportsman 500 not charging?
It’a a 2003 sportsman 500 h.o. I’v checked the battery while running with multimeter and the voltage doesn’t change. It has a brand new battery, i rode the other day and it cranked fine all day but when i got home i shut it off for about an hour and got back on it and it wouldn’t turn over, charged battery put it back in and it cranked fine.
What to do if your Polaris Ranger won’t start?
Pull the fuel line and crank the engine to see if it’s getting gas. Check the fuel filter for a possible clog if this is the case. Also, make sure the fuel tank has gas. Look at the air filter of your Polaris Ranger. It may have a clog in it, which chokes your engine and won’t allow it to run.

What to do when your Ranger shuts off?
2011 Ranger 800 XP high output EFI. Driving along, temp 195 degrees and it just stops running, no warning, no backfire, just like turning off the key. Stop the Ranger, turn off the key, press the brake pedal, wait until the fuel pump builds pressure, and it starts, good power and acceleration.
What causes a Polaris Ranger to shut off?
Hi James, like Forde suggested, have the battery checked first. You may want to check the gas tank vent and make sure it is clear. A possible bad ignition switch and vapor lock could cause that also.
