Hello, Background: Bought a used 2012 700, added 2 small LED lights, wiring for a sprayer and changed front CV axles. Had no electrical issues until recently. The old battery stopped charging so we got a new one, Rhino still wouldn't charge it. -Started next day, drove 15-20min, then out of nowhere the check engine light came on and temp too. 4WD started to automatically engage and disengage repeatedly. Charging display started jumping all around between 11 to 13 to 15v. -Relays, fuses, and battery connections seemed good. -Continuity on rectifier would jump btwn OL and 00.0 -Rectifier wires from stator all read 20-21v at idle -Rectifier diode test had 1 bad reading. So, I replaced it with a new one (but still using original plugs) Started it up, still shows no change (12.1v idle, 12.8 with some RPM) Also, I feel like now I maybe also smell burning plastic? Does anyone have experience with this problem or have a recommendation of where to go next?

my 2009 mule 610 4x4 keeps blowing the main fuse. the dealer said a controller needed replacing and it was not cheap. it cranks up and after about a minute the oil light will come on and then the fuse blows. kind of a novice when it comes to diagnosing electrical problems. has anyone had this same or similar problem. Or, do you know anyone that has. any help will be appreciated.

Hello all - I am in need of some help. My 2021 buck 60v is not charging. I have no owners manual or service manual. I can’t even find it online to purchase. (Does anyone have one they can share?) I am having electrical issues, it’s not appearing to charge even after being plugged in for over 12 hrs. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi friends, I have a 2009 Kawasaki Mule Trans 4x4 that I have been having trouble with. For a while now, the DFI light will immediately light and the Mule will have loss of power. I'm not sure where to go in my diagnostic process. I have heard that you can access the EFI system's diagnostic codes by switching the 4x4 on and off three times, however, I do not get any blink codes. Do I need to use the Kawasaki Diagnostic Software for this? Really trying to avoid taking it to the dealership. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I'm running into a strange problem with the chassis electrical on my Trooper. I had someone push me off a rock pile I was high centered on and they smashed a few of my taillights. I didn't think much of it at the time as taillights are easy to replace, but the next morning I couldn't turn on my headlights or spotlights, my wench motor wouldn't respond to the in/out switch, and the 4x4 switch won't take me out of 4 wheel. Looking at the Trooper wiring schematic, I can see that all these switches are on the same ING1 circuit so I'm concluding it is some type of electrical issue. I've completely disconnected the rear lights to rule out any type of shorts or anything there, replaced and verified all the fuses in the passenger seat fuse box with a test lamp. Verified the line continuity from wench, head lights, and 4x4 connectors. So Im kinda stuck at this point. I'm going to go ahead and test all the relays in the passenger side fuse box, but none of those are listed in the manual with having anything to do with 4x4 or the wench so I don't think they will be the solution. I do see there is a "capstan relay" listed in the wiring schematics on that circuit, but I have no idea where that is (or really what it is, I know a capstan on a boat is kind of a wench so kind of assuming is a translation thing) on the chassis. I do see something that looks like a rectifier mounted directly behind the wench but not sure what that is either. Which brings me to me last point, I have had malfunctioning rectifier do weird things on other cars so I'm kind of wondering if this might be the case here as well, but I'm not finding anything called a rectifier in the manual. Any one have an idea where it might be on the chassis so I can test it? TIA everyone... hoping someone might have some insight!
