New here and I need some help, please. I have a small shop and I usually don't work on ATVs but a customer wanted me to look at his. He had a main fuse blown for his starting for the ign switch. He was using a screw driver and jumping across the sol. I replaced the fuse and that fixed the tarting problem. Started and ran from key and starting switch just fine. He then wanted me to add a manual switch to his cooling fan. Should have said no, but,thought I would shoot my self in the foot and help. I was trying to see it the fan would run by sending 12 volts to the hot wire. I THOUGHT I had found a connection from the motor to the sensor. Unplugged the red wire at the connector ( in attached picture) and jumped 12 volts to it. When I touched the wire to the pos. battery terminal, it arched like a short (NEVER GOOD)! Hooked the wire back to the terminal and tried to start the machine. Now, it will spins over as it should but there is no spark. I have to assume that I blew a module or controller. Question is -- What did I blow and where the heck is it?
Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated!
