How do you test a stator in a Polaris Ranger?
1. Set the selector dial to measure AC Voltage. 2. Start the engine and let it idle. 3. While holding the engine at a specified RPM, separately alternator (Y1 to Y2, Y1 to Y3, Y2 to Y3). 4. Refer to the following table for approximate AC Voltage readings according to RPM. Test each leg at the specified RPM in the table.
How to test the charging system on a Polaris Ranger?
Usually if voltage fluctuates with rpm thatll show a faulty regulator. You can also use the load tester to load down the charging system to see how effective the charging system is. 1. Set the selector dial to measure AC Voltage. 2. Start the engine and let it idle.
How can I tell if my stator needs to be replaced?
This test makes sure that the stator isn’t shorting out to the ground. Your meter should read “OL” or open line. If the multimeter is picking up a reading, it means your stator needs to be replaced. Repeat this test for each of the windings.
What to do if your stator on your ATV is bad?
This is a free and easy fix so try it out if your battery is still good. Voltage regulator rectifier unit: If your voltage regulator is bad, you’ll have the same problems as if your stator is bad. This can make it difficult to determine, which is the problem. You can test this with a multimeter to see if it is working.

What does multimeter on Polaris Ranger tell you?
Good rule of thumb with a multimeter on the battery, after starting you will get more voltage then when it wasnt running. Thatll show you if its charging, Im not familiar with what the rangers specs are though. Usually if voltage fluctuates with rpm thatll show a faulty regulator.
How can I tell if my stator connector is defective?
Ohms Test. You will need a multimeter set to Ohms for this test. Test every lead of the stator’s connector and note the readings. The reading of each combination should be the same (test leads 1-2, 2-3, and 3-1). If they are different, your stator is defective.
