Check engine light came on shifter went to ----- just a line. No Speedo at all reads 0 the hole time. Stays in gear till I shut it off then it will shift down then run for 15 sec or so then same problem. It will idle for ever no problem ............
That would be my geuss also !Did a load test on battery. It goes down to week.....???? Bad battery maybe?
Careful . I had similar problem on my Honda Rubicon . Auto Zone and O'Rileys both tested it and said it was good . Not believing them , I took it to Polaris dealer , they tested it with the correct equipment and guess what ,? They said it was stone cold junk . Being happy that a battery could cure my sick Rubicon I bought one from them (more expensive than other places) and it was a MIRACLE ! My Rubicon was fixed !I'm going to take the battery to auto zone in the morning. Have them do a load test also if that's not it I'm stumped .
How long should a battery last in these 500s?
Mines a 2015 and I dont have but 250 miles on it. I do use a battery tender. I connect it every month or two and let it sit a week+ everytime
A lot depends on how the battery has been treated. Letting a normal battery fall below 50% charge is bad. They charge back up pretty fast but they get hot under a charge, heat is what kills them, warps the plates inside. Deep cycle's have thicker plates and can handle that better, but they usually have low CCA. I run a good tender, that won't overcharge, all through the winter.
Not an expert or anything, just been reading up on it lately.
Dang.Of course I've done maybe 40 tests on the battery all good. I've checked every wire on this thing and so far far I'm SOL. I'll keep everyone posted when I find it good to the dealer tomorrow
