I have a Polaris 400 Xplorer... The four wheel drive does not work in forward but will engage in reverse if you hit the over ride switch.

We have been getting a lot of snow and I have a snow blade for it but it is useless right now.

Even if I could engage the 4 wheel drive manual would be a help

Thanks in advance

try holding the gear shifter ahead when in 4x4 see if that works

 

Tried, did not help... really works well in reverse. any other ideas?

 

Is it possible that the 4 wheel drive is also tied into the head lights? Started tracing wires and strangley enought it goes to the head light on the handlebars high/low beam...

Things that make you go hmmmm.

Thanks

i think your going to find it has to do w/ the override switch/wiring being the issue.

 

I just had a similar issue with mine. The trans switch was acting up. Really move the shifter forward and all around to see if the light goes on and off for the awd.

 

i agree w/ checking the switch as that tells the bike what gear it's in and when the override has to kick in. you should be able to by pass it.

 

Don't guess anyone has a manual for this....

 

Where is this "trans switch" ????

Thanks
