2014 Polaris Sportsman 400 HO

We had an issue with the lights working on occasion.  Then they just stopped working completely (front and rear). We looked at the EFI fuse and it was melted, but not blown.  We replaced the fuse, but now the ignition will not turn on UNLESS we pull the fuse out...and BTW, the lights still didn't work with the new fuse. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

The fact that the fuse melted tells me there's a short somewhere. Do you have a manual with a wiring schematic? Where the fuse melted, start tracing that wiring to see what could have caused it.

I thought the same thing.  However, I found that when I pull the relay out. The lights work fine. Is it  possible it's just a bad relay?

Try this.  Leave the key on and pull the relay. See if the relay clicks when you pull it.  If so then the relay is working.  Or just touch the relay and see if it clicks when you turn the key on.   

What I would do next is trace the wire that feeds the lights and disconnect it. See if that changes anything. Does that bike have a digital screen on it ? Any codes ?

Do what @Frank Angerano mentions, see if the relay is working.

      How do I test the neutral switch on my 2000 Yamaha Big Bear 400 4X4?
      By lester
      I picked up a 2000 Big Bear 400 4X4 that was sitting around that I know nothing about. It will not start. I do have a red light when in reverse. When I take it out of reverse, I do not get a green neutral light, and when I push the start button the red oil light comes on but there are no noises, nothing else happens. How do I test the neutral switch and/or bypass it to see if I can get it to at least crank? And does anyone have other suggestions for me to try?

      By Need-help-with-quads
      So I have an 89 Yamaha moto 4 250cc and when I ride it, itll get hot after like 10-15 mins and then will just die and turn off.
      It's has new carb rebuild, new air filter, new battery, new spark plug so I don't think it's a crack in the spark plug

      2014 Yamaha Kodiak Aftermarket parts?
      By Stang
      As noted above!
      I’ve been looking for quite a while now to replace my rip torn CV boots and CV shaft with the axle set up for all four corners.
      I cannot find a company anywhere that sells aftermarket axles
      Also, looking for a new four-wheel-drive actuator switch that bolts to the front differential mine was broken off by a large branch.
      I cannot find anything but OEM parts what gives??
      Again 2024 Kodiak 700 EPS.

      Timberwolf 2x4 shifting issue
      By Beefy1
      I just acquired a 1994 Timberwolf 250 2wd. Drove fine at seller’s property. Got home, I started it, put it first gear, shifted to reverse, backed out of trailer, moved reverse shifter back forward, then nothing. Throttle revs but doesn’t go anywhere. The shift lever doesn’t really feel like it’s going through gears. I can roll it manually forever so I’m pretty sure it’s in neutral, but no neutral light. Then I decided to try reverse again, and, it goes into reverse. And drives in reverse. But as soon as I take it out of reverse, it rolls freely again. I can’t get it into any forward gear. The seller has owned it for 20 years (60 year old man). He didn’t have a manual so I’ve ordered a Clymer (I’m old school paper in my hand reader). Outward appearance is very good. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
