Rats! ate wires alot on 2020 M550 challenger-- where can I find a wiring diagram? with photos?


Recommended Posts

Hi. Ive been searching for a wiring diagram, hopefully with photos, part #s so I can try to repair damage from rats eating wiring over the winter on the M550 cub cadet UTV. (sigh). haven't had any luck. i have a plug with dangling wires from under seat, next to battery compartment and hope to take to dealers to see if he can order replacement and hopefully it comes with long enough wires that i can splice back into remaining wires. not going to be easy. I'm not sure if there is any more damage, but would have to disassemble to get to bare chassis. sigh. not sure I can do all that, but just trying to find a diagram with photos. no luck. any ideas. thank you.

thanks, I've seen this operator's manual before, but it doesn't give enough detail for what I am trying to do... (get a plug? )

I did find a shop manual at manual lib (?)...

I think this is the link: https://www.manualslib.com/download/1813524/Cub-Cadet-Challenger-Series.html

but it doesn't show me the plug, just wire diagram, not helping me...

There is also this parts catalog with electrical, but only shows the "harness" and it's not clear which one I would need and it looks like more that I would want to work with... 

here's parts catalog link: https://cc.shankslawn.com/oemparts/a/cut/5b75c4fc87a86612881804ee/electrical

I'll go to dealer's tomorrow and see what he can suggest. thanks,

2019 Coleman 550 we bought it from Tractor supply and it wouldn’t run. They are a feed store and I’m pretty sure they had the rats. We got it at a discount but we are still electrical taping wires as we see them. It has really parked the vehicle a lot and it has cost money in mechanics when we got stumped. The rats ate the wires and it has not been fun

      Good afternoon. When the timing chain came off its lower gear (previous owner had over-tightened the tensioner), I ordered new parts.. chain, oil-pump chain, tensioner etc.. But now that it's time to put it back together, the main crankshaft makes a clang noise and stops when you turn it by hand. I want to solve this before assembling everything. The camshaft cover is off so that the valves aren't being activated. Should the transmission be in neutral to turn the crankshaft? The engine was running fine until the chain came off the lower gear. Then it would spin when the starter motor engaged so I assumed the crankshaft was spinning. Any advice is appreciated.

      starts up you have keep rpms up for 5 minutes till it warms up then runs fine. But if it stalls wont start unless you unplug fuel pump and hold it to the floor till it starts then plug pump back in and run it till it warms up then it is fine all day.

      Hey everyone,
      I’m in the market for a UTV windshield that can withstand extreme conditions, including high winds, dust, and off-road impacts.
      I’ve seen a lot of options out there, but I’m unsure which one will provide the best protection and durability.
      Does anyone have experience with windshields that excel in these environments? Are there specific brands or materials you recommend?
      I’m particularly interested in options that offer both durability and clarity.
      Any tips or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!
