2004 Yamaha Grizzly YFM 660 F Intermittent fan issue


Lastresort

Recommended Posts

I have a 2004 Grizzly YFM 660 F that I use to plow the driveway and I use it to do yard work. For me it's a work horse. The cooling fan quit working last year. I didn't have time to mess with it so I sent it to a Yamaha dealer and this is where it all went south. The OEM fan was over $400 and the Moose fan was around $250 plus labor and sales tax. So I chose to have the Moose fan installed. That's where the trouble began. The first snow fall I worked this old girl not knowing that the Moose cooling fan draws more power than the OEM fan and its tripping the cooling fan automatic reset fuse. Yes, I have done my homework and I have diagnosed the circuit. The only problem I have is...I can't find the fuse. I have read that it's on the left side of the airbox. I have looked at the electrical 1 diagram and it's no help. My question is do I need to remove the airbox or do I need to remove the rear plastics?  I have been hunting for a repair manual but I haven't found one. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Update: because of the drawing listed above I was able to locate the circuit breaker. It is under the 4 wheel drive relays and the fuse box. The breaker is in the same cluster of wires as the tail light which is the 3 bullet connectors just before the wires enter the cover under under the rear rack. Unhook them and pull up on the wire easy don't go tearing at it. The circuit breaker is the bag at the end of the 5 wire cluster you just pulled up on. I removed the 4 wheel drive relays (they just slide up and are held in by a rubber cradle i had to wiggle them a little) to give me a better view and more room. The Moose Racing cooling fan draws more power than the Yamaha OEM fan. So I purchased a Marine grade 10 amp type 1 automatic reset circuit breaker, 15 feet of 16 guage wire ( I chose not to color coordinate but do be careful, the breaker will have a side that goes to the battery. It was the red wire on my machine.) I used bullet connectors but flat blade would work too. I chose to relocate the breaker. I put it in the compartment behind the battery where my tool kit was. I drilled 2 holes to bolt the circuit breaker to the side furthest away from the exhaust and one hole slightly larger to run the wire through. I put dielectric grease on the wire before I crimped them and then on the bullet connectors when I plugged them in. I also used heat shrink to seal the bullet connectors. At the breaker I was only able to use the grease but it does have a cover to keep out moisture. Finally, I siliconed the wire holes where I drilled through the plastics.  (I had to remove the rear rack and cover to chase the wire. For me it was the best option.) 

Again, Thank You for posting the diagram.

      Sorry I suck at these forums so if you see this submitted under update status, my bad. Anyhow this is a new shock for a 96 Yamaha Kodiak 400 4x4 it fits my 96 Yamaha Timberwolf 250 4x4 perfectly. Little narrower are the bottom than the original but everything else is perfect. I extended it to almost a half in from full extension because I’m pushing 350 pounds.  It rides and hold me well. So if any of y'allRace driven shock. have been looking for one and didn’t want to do the research here it is.

      I WANTED TO UPGRADE THE CARBURATOR ON MY 1992 BIG BEAR 350, SO I ORDERED A NEW CARB FROM EBAY.  ACCORDING TO THE WRITE-UP IT WAS A GOOD FIT FOR BIG BEARS FROM 1988 TO 1996.  WHEN I REMOVED MY ORIGINAL CARB I NOTICED THAT IT WAS DIFFERENT FROM THE NEW CARB MY CARB HAD TWO THROTTLE  CABLES THE NEW CARB ONLY HAD ONE CABLE.  HOW CAN I MAKE THIS CARB WORK ON MY TWO CABLE THROTTLE?

      2022 Sector 550, 414 miles on it and the gas gauge reads empty.  I topped off the gas and it didn't change.
      There is no fuse that I could find.  No access at the gauge cluster.
      Wiring on the top of the tank looks good, properly connected.
      Could the sending unit in the tank be stuck or broken?
      Has anybody removed the tank lid?  Any tricks?  
      Any other ideas?
      Thanks for any help,
      Clyde

      1996 4x4 Timberwolf rearend width. Can someone with some knowledge of these machines answer this question for me please. Are all 4x4 timberwolves this narrow in the rearend? These tires are so close the right one actually rubs the muffler.  Thinking about seeing if there are any spacers out there for it. I need at least an inch more clearance.
