Thanks buddy - great straightforward video. Fixing mine this evening - dealer just gave me the new part with no hassle. Enjoyed a good laugh at your reaction to the dropped washer. 😂

Great video, very helpful! Thank you

Great video

Thanks for the video. My Ranger 570 has less than 30hrs on it and the switch has gone bad. Unplugged the connector and jumpered the wires to verify that the switch is the problem. Left the jumper in place until I can replace it. Eliminates the safety feature of having the brake depressed for a start, but also allows you to use the UTV.

Did you reuse the same washers? I was just wondering if the rubber on the inside gets damaged taking them off to where they may leak when you put them back on.

Thanks much. I have the same issue on a 2019 XP1000. Anyone try the aftermarket version?

Great video. I replaced mine today on my 2020 RZR Turbo S and it worked like a charm. I was having to press on brake pedal very firm and almost to the floor to get it to start before replacement 👍

Can it just be bypassed with a button?

Thanks! About to do mine tmrw.. I would have screwed that up.

Nice job on the video, did everything work ok after letting sit over night, with no air in the lines?

Thanks for all the help. It worked great. I actually ordered one from Amazon. We’ll see how it holds up. Use the pencil idea too. But my fluid did not leak out. Maybe because I did not remove the cap before removing the precious switch. Great video!

How long do I wait before I test it? Do I leave it sitting with the cap off? How many hours? Thanks

Thanks so much. Saved me from buying a $229 battery. This was so much help.

Thank you!

Great video. Follow up: Also found out from more research that the recent brake switch #4014262 has a high failure rate and has gone back to a #4014225 which has a pig tail. I expect that it will arrive within the next days. We shall see if it's any better. For others info, our Polaris was stick way back in the woods. Shorted across the brake wire contacts with a paper clip to get it started, remove the paper clip and was able to get it back to the garage. I wouldn't recommend leaving a short across the contacts

Extremely well done video sir. I just ordered a new “brake safety switch” for my machine also. After researching online blogs and everything I could find most people pointed me in a non OEM direction. Got mine coming from RangerWerx LLC. Supposed to be a better than factory part and it was $89.99. I don’t have it yet so I cannot review it but if it doesn’t work properly I’ll come back and edit this comment. I appreciate how thorough your video was and the tech tip from Polaris about the gravity bleed. Edit: Have had the switch on for 5 months and zero hiccups. Definitely a good buy.

Yep, our 2021 Polaris wouldn't turn over. No brake lights which meant either the pressure switch or a wiring error. Enjoyed your video and will first check the wiring by shorting the pins. But I feel your right - the weak point in the system is the switch. Waiting for a switch. Thanks for your video!!!

Great video, did the trick. You have a natural talent for clear, unscripted explanation. Thx!

Bless your heart. I haven’t used our Polaris for over 4 months. I refuse and can’t physically jam on the brake to start it. I’ve ordered the part long ago. It’s been sitting on a shelf. My husband and I will take care of this tomorrow, thanks to you. My husband will be watching this!

Thank you - this was very helpful - you save me a ton of hassle figuring this all out.

Thanks buddy! Thumbs up!

Awesome video. Appreciate the solid effort in less than ideal conditions!

Great video. Big help to me. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for this - fixed my starting issue on my 2019 XP1000 BackCountry Edition. It had started acting up around 8000KM and I thought it was brake pad related... been bothering me for the past 2000KM but not any more!

Great video! Sure appreciate you taking the time to get this documented!

Judging by your original finger lock connection position compared to the reconnecting of the harness with the finger lock position of the new switch, it appears you need to tighten the switch a tad more? The pencil idea was great! I know I will be chasing washers too. ;)

I had a little knowledge of how to change the switch as well as using a metal bread tie as a backup to start it in middle of Nowhere. I was never sure exactly what to do step by step. Now, I know. I agree, there should be a reengineering of the switch. Always a problem. My Polaris dealer said the same about not bleeding the brake system afterwards. Not enough fluid leaking out. You are correct with your video, in my opinion.

Thanks for the video!! One question though, did your polaris fire up the next day with no problems?

thank you- you saved me so much time diagnosing what was wrong with ours. this was very helpful!!!!!

Thank you! these machines have too many sensors and different components to figure out so I appreciate you making this video!!!

Thanks for letting us know that the brake bleeding isn't necessary!

All you have to do is unplug that plug and put a small jumper across the plug and it bypasses it..

Thank you for making this video!

Has anyone found a way to bypass this switch?

Great video, thank you.

what was it doing or not doing for you to determine it was pressure switch ? I’m thinking i might have same issue .

Followup - did you have to bleed your brakes the next day or were they ok ?

Good job and step by step explanation! Thanks

Same problem here. Thanks for the video.. I am assuming it worked?

Thank You

That was amazing! A once in a lifetime event for lots of hunters to witness. 👍

scary!
