2008 Arctic Cat 700 need some help

[exramboatv]

ok i have a 2008 700 acrtic cat efi.. i was ridein it came back to camp site. for only a few mins got back on and went to turn key back on and no power to dash box or motor.. turn the key to lights and they came on.. what i have tryed is unhooking the battey for a hour and hooking it back up but still no power to anything but light. and its a new battiey and even ck to make sure that it was not the prom, it wasnt. i really dont want to put it in the shop and pay 500 just for them to tell me whats wrong and i have to pay more for the part and so on.. maybe someone out there has had the same thing happen or knows what it maybe.. like one of the two back boxs under the seat...what i was thinking.

does it have a fuse box ? if so i would check them.. i done work on many arctic cat quads so im not really familiar with there electrical system.. i would also just check to make shure all the electrical plug connections are clean and making good contact...

Besides the fuses and other easy stuff, make sure you have power to the ignition wire on the coil (Under the seat)

Check the front of the quad right where the steering stem goes down from the pod right around the metal clip for wires that have rubbed thru. This is the easiest place to start.

If that doesn't work pull the rear plastics and check for an ignition wire rubbing on the frame right where they come from the fuse box and wrap around the frame to run along the chassis. This is a known problem and the most common fix.
