The dealer charged $200 to do nothing but some extra damage to the wiring. Nice job once again figuring things out and repairing this one at very little cost 😊

well, It needs new switchunits, new wiring harness, new sensor/solenoid, new tires, 12 hours of work (incl today's diagnostics). So before a dealer can get this back to the customer, the customer is in for another 2500. And then the unit is still rusty, rough and stil has a dodgy powersteering pump. The unit is only worth saving if you don't count hours and don't have a shop-fee.

@@vogel2280 A dealer isn’t going to try and fix parts, but is going to replace with all new. The dealer did the right thing for the customer and themselves because even if they fixed everything that was obviously bad this machine would spend time coming back for repairs. The customer saved money for sure.

@@adamgroulx12 No the dealerships don't want to pay techs anymore. Yes there are plenty of parts cannon mechanics. However the ones that can fix this won't get paid to do so. Flat rate has come to the Power Sports world. The problem is if you want to eat you push these aside and try to get fast at common jobs. If not you will be struggling to make it. The dealership owners are making the money not the techs. IF there is a dealer actually paying the techs that is RARE. I can assure you if I saw this come in I would be like WTF I am going to loose my ass on this.

My first and only Polaris, was a 2010 Ranger 500, purchased off the showroom floor, took it for a test drive around a lot and it died. Should have been my sign to say don't get it, but I got it anyway because the salesman said that it was just because it had been sitting a while… Took it home and for I can't remember how long it was, it would just randomly start running bad till it died. And you would crank it right back up and it would run normal. Took it to the dealer close to 10 times, at the end they told me basically not to bring it back they were done with it. I ended up selling it. They never did fix the problem, and I took it to two different dealers. I would never purchase another Polaris product. But that one seems really nice, and it's really awesome how you got it to work again, if you were the mechanic at the dealership back then you probably could've fixed the Ranger, lol. Love the sound of a V twin ATV. I had a couple of Can-Am's, an 800 and a 1000 Outlander

The power steering likely isn’t bad. The Pitman Shaft which is the shaft on the lower side of the power steering where the tie rods mount has a bearing that fits into the top of the differential. That bearing is likely rusted solid. The bearing is not serviceable. The Pitman needs changed. It’s quite a job. For your power issue and I’m just starting to watch the video, there’s a circuit breaker on the left side of the vehicle as you sit on it, which requires you to take the front body plastic off to see it. They’re notorious for corrosion as it is without the assistance of the Salt.

They are actually part of the legs, that might make it easier for you in the future. Or am I not seeing something correctly, and I'm in error? Ok, I'll be quiet now and keep watching, you struck gold man! Love it👍🏻 Ok, watched the while thing, congratulations man, what a score!

I do have a Question….. 1) Why do you backprobe at the base of the fuse to test voltage at the fuse box, and not just use the test point on the top post on the fuse itself? 2) percussive maintenance On the starter was brilliant! 3) just a note…. Rather than use a piece of wire to backprobe or to test internal connectors…. You can use a straight pin, but better is drapery pin, bend it straight, all the way down to the point, and make a t-handle from the dull end at the top like a handle…. It makes it a lot easier!!!

My first thought was, of course it’s not worth fixing, but look over here we have a brand new one to go. You happened along at just the right time, right place.

The metal pins on top of the fuses are so you can probe them without digging into the legs and over-stressing them, I love your troubleshooting, nice job!.

That's so good to get a machine that is in good shape with some elbow grease and some trouble shooting. I bought a sportsman new and had to sell it in 2005 . Because I moved to Hollywood California for a job. So I miss it and I enjoyed watching you fix it after setting for a very long time. I have so many different machines that people have left out to just set and like they say just needs some TLC and just use it and things will loosen up and free up and I'm sure you'll find more things that are corroded. But it a good ride to put $ into. Thanks Dale

Great job Joe! I hate electrical problems, but you make it look easy. I would hit those rusty spots with some oil based undercoating. I use it on my old plow truck and tractors.

BRAVO, good deal getting dealer castoffs. Thanks for the teaching/learning moments, keep up the hard work towards 500k subs. Add $500 to the purchase price and se11 it back, they can flip it.

Hey! I absolutely love your videos. I am working through a ds650 and saw your videos working through one. If you find yourself in electrical problems in the future I have a tool called a power probe. I cannot recommend them enough. There are cheaper versions, I got mine for 35$ used. Keep up the great work.

There comes a time where people need to refuse to purchase new every time and anytime something goes wrong. That's throwing away perfectly good used equipment and being very wasteful while doing it. This is a 2013....there's NO reason why it can't be repaired. Should be able to fix stuff clear back to mid 80s or early 90s without much trouble.

Since I noticed your regularly testing wire, I would invest in a gatorclip back probe leads. I'm a heavy duty diesel tech, they are a life saver, and don't ruin the plug pins. BTW keep up the great work, love your videos.

Excellent video. Fun as hell to watch. Those fuses have tiny holes on the top end that you can probe for continuity without having to jam probe down in between. You might know that already.
