I have a starting problem with my Polaris 2004 frontier sled. I will go to my garage and start it up and it runs perfect. Another time it will not start, in fact acts as if there is no power anywhere. I wait for 10 minutes and try it again and it may go or may not. In other words it is hit and miss as to whether or not it will start. Changed the solenoid and kill switch but no change. It does act like the kill switch is activated when it doesn't start but replacing hasn't worked. If there is anyone out there that can help with this I would appreciate it. I have seen a post that is similar to this but it was posted in 2009 so probably won't hear back from the member.
I'd first check all the wire connections and the ground, just to rule out intermittent wiring. Those 4-stroke Frontier sleds are a lot different than the 2-strokes most of us are familiar with. Hopefully someone can give you some other suggestions to help out!
You know it is funny that you would say that because yesterday I was wiggling the wiring around the battery and power box when it would not start and I would make connection somewhere and it would start. I just haven't isolated the problem spot yet so I believe you are right on with your suggestion. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
There are a lot of guys that are very helpful on here, but when they don't know anything, they don't respond... that 4-stroke is from another planet as far as most of us are concerned! We would be sitting scratching our heads just like you are.
Thanks again for everyone who has responded. I haven't had time to search it out yet but will post when I do and with any luck I will be successful. I agree though that there aren't many Frontiers out there but I bought it new and really like it. Gas mileage is great and other than this issue I have never had to do anything to it other than change the oil once a year.
There's a lot of good reasons to get a 4-stroke, that's for sure. Fuel mileage and no stinky clothes are a couple that would be at the top of my list. A lot of rental companies used Frontiers in their rental fleets, they did fine in that too!
