How does 4WD work on a Polaris Sportsman?
It is connected to the override button. When that button is depresssed you get full power in reverse. It also needs to be pressed for 4wd to work in reverse. Starting in 1999 Polaris moved that module to the electronic speedo. If the module portion of the speedo burns out you will loose 4wd and the reverse safety feature.
Is there an inline fuse for sportsman 500?
Might be advisable to go with a low rating inline fuse and include this from the hot supply to the new switch just in case. Thats a good idea. I just went ahead and connected the #2 and # 5 wires directly and everything seems to be working fine (no switch). I think I will get an inline fuse to put between the 2 wires.
