2007 Arctic Cat 700 efi 4x4 - Wiring Issues
mikeexplorer replied to perryz's topic in Arctic Cat ATV Forum
You have a broken wire somewhere in the front harness to the pod. Once you repair it, wrap the harness in spiral wrap like I did and it will save the harness from future problems. Mike -
2007 Arctic Cat 700 efi 4x4 - Wiring Issues
mikeexplorer replied to perryz's topic in Arctic Cat ATV Forum
It sounds like a broken wire from the fuse block to the front harness. 2007 models are known for wiring harness problems. I know, I have repaired both the rear and front harness already. Look at this post http://www.quadcrazy.com/atvforum/arctic-cat-atv-forum/10091-extract-print-arctic-cat-atv-schematics.html This will help if you print out the schematic on several pages so it can be seen better. I would start following with the meter to see if the ignition switch has power to it from the fuse block. The wires that snake up to the handlebars are notorious for breaks. The first picture is the schematic printed on 6 sheets of paper and taped together. This larger print makes it so much better to see the wires and notes. The second is what I had to deal with a few months ago. I blew out about 12 wires in my front harness. Mike -
Wireless remote for Arctic Cat 1436-187 winch
mikeexplorer replied to sidmabb's topic in Arctic Cat ATV Forum
I can't see why that remote would not work for you. I seriously doubt the wiring is "different" just because its rebranded for Arctic Cat. This listing shows it is compatible. High Lifter Products - WARN Wireless Control/Remote Upgrade Kit I attached a diagram of the winch, so it will help with tracing the wires out. I also found a PDF of installing the wireless control, Looks real easy and should work with the Arctic Cat version. MAYBE the wire colors differ then the diagram, but I doubt it. I see no reason why it won't work, all it does is the same as the rocker switch, only remotely. Mike Warn Winch diagram.pdf Warn Wireless control installation.pdf -
2006 Arctic Cat 500 tbx - Electrical Problems
mikeexplorer replied to russ's topic in Arctic Cat ATV Forum
First I would verify that power is reaching the starter, take a screwdriver and touch both larger terminals of the starter solenoid being very careful not to let it touch any metal on the quad. This will bypass it. If you still get nothing then you need a meter to verify that you have 12 volts on one side of the solenoid, then when you press the starter button, it should show on the other side. If that checks out, then there could be a broken wire between that and the starter itself. I would also verify the ground side of the starter is also securely connected as well. If you do notice a drop in voltage (say under 10 volts) when you press the starter button, that means the battery is too weak to turn it over. You can use a vehicle to jump start the quad but ABSOLUTELY do not have the vehicle running when you do this. The output from a vehicle's alternator will fry the battery in the quad. If you show no voltage at the solenoid at all, then you need to check the thicker cable from it back to the battery. Mike -

2006 Arctic Cat 400 4x4 - No Spark At Times and Runs Bad
mikeexplorer replied to Heywire77's topic in Arctic Cat ATV Forum
Hopefully your harness won't look like mine did ! Yes, Cats are known for wiring problems. This was the third wiring problem with this machine. Mike -
Look under your left front wheel well and the VIN should be on the main part of the frame. Mike

2006 Arctic Cat 400 4x4 - No Spark At Times and Runs Bad
mikeexplorer replied to Heywire77's topic in Arctic Cat ATV Forum
For that issue I would check the front harness where it crosses over the support. I had to do a major repair of 12 fried wires in that section and that was one of my issues is it would do nothing unless I had the key in headlight position. Mike -

Arctic Cat 250 1999 model - Boot issue
mikeexplorer replied to zancat's topic in Arctic Cat ATV Forum
I know with newer models to replace an outboard boot (closest to the tire) you do indeed have to remove the inboard boot (diff side) Fortunately I have only torn up inboard boots so far but now I am sure I jinked myself Mike -

2005 Artcic Cat 500 - Electrical/Winch Problem
mikeexplorer replied to flea13's topic in Arctic Cat ATV Forum
More likely the battery itself is weak and could not handle the large draw the winch put on it. Same thing happened to me plowing snow, pod flashed "volt" when winching the plow up and this was with a charged battery. The stock batteries suck, I replaced mine with a better aftermarket one and never had problems with it since. Mike
