Dvx400 electrical question

[sandman001]

Just picked up a 2006 Dvx400. There is a switch I can't figure out what it is or where it goes. Has 3 wires (light blue, black and Yellow)

It looks similar to an Arctic Cat neutral switch but its hard to tell from the photo see if there is a wire missing from the left side cover it should go inside the engine case.

The neutral light works, and the gear position switch is there. So I am not sure about it.

Are you sure of your machine? Looking at schematics, there is no listing for a 2006 400 DVX 

Yellow must be striped with something, pure yellow wires come from the stator.

10th digit of vin is a 6. So pretty sure its a 2006 dvx400. The yellow has brown on it ..

[mikeexplorer]

The brown is part of the wire marking. I still can't match your machine. You may have to verify the full VIN.  They did make a DVX 400 in 2004, but in 2006 they only had the DVX 250. 

Attached are the schematics for the 2004 DVX 400 and the 2006 DVX 250.  There is no match for that connector. It does look original (nobody hacked it)

Based on that, the 2004 schematic should be the one, meaning no changes were made in 2006. 

Peel back a bit more of the wire covering, zooming in to your picture, it appears both the blue and brown wires are marked with a second color.

Looks like to me brown/green  and the blue wire has a second color, but can't make it out.

I normally work on utility Arctic Cats, I never owned a DVX. Usually have no problems finding the right schematic which will tell you what that connector does.

Sorry, just got  2006DVX back from a guy who was welding crack in swingarm. So I am 100% sure that thing is a throttle position sensor. My question will it run correctly without it being hooked up? It has an aftermarket carb, and no where to hook it? Look at number #59 on pic of 2006 dvx carb that I included.

I found the service manual for your machine

I don't know why there would be a sensor there. You should have a cable type throttle attached to the carb. I don't see that listed on either schematic so that is confusing. 

Try this link for the schematics
