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.

      In search of my first ATV? What are good older 4x4 models?

      So we are almost a month into winter and I've been so busy working on my house that up until today, I didn't realize that we just haven;t gotten any real snow yet to warrant putting the plow on my grizzly. So that got me thinking, what are the latest plows out there and what ATV plows are the best? I've got 2 snow plows for my grizzly, a quadboss pile driver atv plow set up and a snowsport ATV plow. They are both a bit dated now and I tend to stick with the snowsport due to ease of use and I just like it so much. So if you have a plow on your ATV, please let us know what it is and post a picture with your atv/plow would be awesome. Would also like to know what you like and dislike about it.
      This is back a while when I did a write up on these 2 plows.... in 2009 I got the snowsport and in 2012 I got the quadboss.

      Troubleshooting a no spark issue, was running OK, maybe a little rich, turned it off, now no spark. I've checked/ohmed out the main key switch, the start/stop switch, neutral switch, brake switch - all good. It will crank the starter, but no spark with the starter or when I try the pull start. I've checked all fuses and diodes. Swapped battery. New plug. New coil. Swapped in a used CDI - no help. Traced, removed, cleaned, reattached all grounds. Removed things like my winch from the circuits to be sure a bad relay or something was dragging it down. When testing voltages, the orange wire going from the CDI to the ignition coil shows no/very low voltage-shouldn't it have 12V on it? Sometimes I get a very weak, intermittent glow on my spark tester, but not enough to fire the plug. I've checked continuity on just about all wires in the harness. Checked/cleaned/lubed w dielectric grease- all connections, redid a few that looked old/dirty. I've checked the stator resistances, all good, but have a stator and rectifier ordered anyway, will arrive Sunday. I verified that the rectifier has a voltage output back to charge the battery while cranking - 10.5-11V, low, but expected while starter is engaged. What else can I check as part of troubleshooting? I have a Haines service manual, but the 1999 350 4x4 seems to be an odd model, there isn't an exact electrical diagram for it, but found one for another year that has all the same number of wires and same color wires, so I've referenced that. Any hints, tips or advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

      I'm working on my uncles grizzly and it sparks once on initial cranking then no more after that. If I let off the start button then press the start button again it will spark once then stop sparking. I was wondering if anyone seen this issue before.  Also I've never used forums before so sorry if this question is in the wrong location.

      Im aware that this relay needs a positive (+) and a negative (-) to activate the other side. The blue wire is the neutral wire so when in neutral it gets ground. The green wire is from the parking break; when you pull the break in it gets ground (-). however one of those two needs to be neutral so that the positive from kill switch can go to the starter relay. The ground from the starter relay is from the start switch. Which one (neutral or parking break) should have a positive (+) voltage?
