I'm new to the forum and looking for help from anyone familiar with the Polaris Ranger XP 700. I have less than 5 hours on my UTV and haven't been able to ride more than 15 minutes without it shutting down and throwing code 21. Dealer said battery cable was lose but it still has same problem. Polaris says dealer must handle. Dealer says they cannot find anything wrong. Meanwhile I have had for 5 months and it doesn't work. Warranty is up next month. Maybe they will fix it when I have to pay. Pretty disgusted with the whole situation.

Contact your Better Bussiness Bureau and get the paperwork for the Lemon Law, we had to do it on a car once and Pontiac send me a new car (same model) our dealer had tried and tried to find out the problem with no success.

Is there another dealer you can take it to? Maybe another dealer can figure out the problem. Another solution is to drive it around the dealers lot until it does it since it happens in 15 minutes and have them explain it and fix it while you watch. They'll hate this especially on a Saturday when people are there looking to purchase, it just doesn't look good. Sometimes you just have to show that you mean bussiness.

The dealer has had my ranger for 2 weeks. Says they have replaced all 3 possible sensors and problem still exists. They are replacing wiring harness. Should be done next week. Some urgency!They are now sure this is problem.I don't think they have a clue. Next step is final attempt to talk to Polaris then BBB to find out options.

Sounds like your dealer is trying. Keep working with them on good terms as long as they are trying! I am pretty sure Toys & RVs are not covered by any of the Lemon Laws.

I'ld go ahead and contact the BBB so that you can have all the paperwork in hand and completed just in case you need it.

Got my ranger back last night. Spent an hour riding on roads then through woods and fields. Changed between 2 and 4 wheel on and off with no problems. Maybe the wiring harness was the problem. I plan to spend a lot of time over the next couple weeks making sure it is fixed and not just patched. So far so good. Thanks for everyones help.

      What UTV should I buy?
      By Edelbrock
      So I'm interested in a side by side of some sort.
      Not sure what make/model to even look at.
       
      I would plan on riding on trails with very rough rocky terrain and plenty of mud. Maybe sand once in a long while. I like LOTS of power and drive fast, but also like a trail that is a challenge to get through. I think 4x4 would be a must. I like the idea of a supercharged engine, but I have never owned one, and would be a little concerned about long term reliability or expensive difficult engine repairs. If anyone knows quads, my favorite was the 2008 Polaris Outlaw 525 IRS. For dirt bikes, I raced a 2008 KTM 450 SX-F. So that gives you an idea of what type of off road stuff I liked.
      I don't like "utility quads" or "trail bikes". And likewise, I dont want a turd UTV. I want something that looks awesome and performs awesome. 2 seater with some cargo capacity at the minimum.
       
       
      Thoughts?

      By Xov
      Just received delivery of a 2024 AMP Pro.  Thought I'd start a thread with my impressions as I use it and learn more.  There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of real-world usage information out there on this model.  Hope this will help others as they research.
      Intended Use Cases
      Fire mitigation / slash removal from a 5 acre forested and well-gamble-oaked property.  The previous owners thought as much about fire mitigation as I do about fashion: not much. Snow removal Stump pulling General hauling (rock, lumber, etc.) Weimaraner energy depletion.  Wasn't an original use case, but a nice added bonus.  Experiences So Far
      Wasn't impressed that two of the bumpers on the underside of the bed where it sits upon the frame were missing.  The metal on metal contact has damaged the powder coating and the frame.  I expect a little better QC.
      I've only put a few hours on it, so not a ton to report on usage.  It isn't quiet; it's silent.  I can't even detect an electric note from the motor. I removed (and subsequently replaced) the motor cover noticed that the motor is German and made by Schambuller.  The motor controller is Italian and made by Dana TM4.  Given the operating specs of both I found on the web, I suspect both are higher quality than the previous Navitas (which is supposed to be decent).  The motor is rated at 25 hp and 71.5 lb-ft of torque.  It feels very powerful.  All the torque is delivered instantly, if desired.
      The bed is huge and has an electric dump as standard.  Great feature but would like it to go up a bit more.  Probably not feasible from an engineering perspective, but I want and I need ;).
      Power steering is nice, but vague.  Probably common to many UTVs, but I am accustomed to more direct results from input.  Plan early and plan often.
      In our first full day of usage, we hauled about 1/2 as much slash as the entire rest of the year when I was doing it by hand cart.  I may get fatter, but I'll also get more done.  After a few days of usage, the battery meter has gone down by 1/10th. 
      Until next time...

      Diagnostic Trouble Code Help?
      By Homeowner A
      I was randomly and briefly able to connect to my Coleman UTV 400s ECU the other day twice and haven't been able to since.  When I was able to access it, I found the following codes and wondered if anyone may know where I should start or what I should look at?  
      P0031 - O2 Sensor Heater Control Voltage Low
      P0107 - Manifold Absolute Pressure/Barometer Pressure Voltage Low
      P0113 - Intake Air Temperature Sensor Voltage High
      P0118 - Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor Voltage High
      P0650 - Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) failure

      Sector E1 Battery change out
      By Gorj
      I am going to replace the batteries in my E1. I am not interested in the high cost Lithium or the expensive 6 volt dry batteries.  I am considering four 12 volt deep charge marine batteries. I have a source for 810 amp units for about $100 each.  I have no worries about reprograming the charger because it went out a few years ago and I replaced it with generic golf cart charger. When I decide to do this, I'll keep you posted on the results.
