Ok so i have a 1997 skidoo mxz 440 fan with a 503 transplant. whoever did the the transplant did a pretty poor job with all the wiring and everything. when i got the sled the motor was leaking oil out of the PTO crank seal. once i tryed to replace that all i found was problems. all of the bearings in the lower end were gone. ( i think she was run dry of oil one to many times).. but anyways... i had the motor rebuilt and i installed it, took it on a 60 mile ride and it ran fine.. i got home and the lights dont work.. but they did on the ride.. i have no head light, no dash light, no tach, and no speedo... anyone have any ideas?

Double check all the connectors. Even take them apart and give them a shot of WD40.

There is a relay underneath the handlebars that is responsible for the lights and the head lamps. Test and replace it.

jtclark62789

Where exactly? because the person i got it off from put a riser kit on it so everything is exposed.

jtclark62789

where is the voltage regulator?

zdw0889

Not a 100% sure but somewhere under the hood to the back by where your feet go.

would i have to move a bunch of stuff out of the way to see it on the right foot rest? because i cant see anything, and if it was under the motor what side? this is a real hack job and it is kinda pissin me off...

RJ Gleason

If it's under the engine, it would be on the right side by the frame.

ok so i changed out the voltage regulator.. that wasnt it.. anyone else have any ideas?

Rczr600rider

Does the tail light work? If so I would check the wiring harness going to the hood for a broken ground wire.

jtclark62789

No there is no lighting at all

Phaze

Lighting coil? You'll need an ohm meter to check the resistance. Not sure the specs or which two wires to hook up to, someone will know........

Yellow wires are the lights.

Where is the lighting coil? And would that have anything to do with the tach and the speedo not working?

Rczr600rider

The lighting coil is part of the stator. It provides power for all your accessories, not just lights.
