Finally got her home. They added a winch, roof, window and plow. Now it's my turn. Added just a cross bag for now. Was going to disconnect the safety switch for seat belt. When I took the cover off there was nothing there. Never tried it before. The shop had the seat belt latched. Just assumed it had one. Looked under seat and there was a red plug with nothing plugged into it. Would that be the safety switch not hooked up.

Looking good, what year is it? I don't think the 2016's had any kind of safety latch. The 2017's have a seatbelt safety system.
That red plug is the diagnostic port for the power steering I think.

I just assumed it did. When I tested one at a def. dealer they said I had to have it on or it would not run correctly. That was back in July last year. Then when I pick this one up they had the seat belt hook and then seat on it to move it. It is a 2016.

Cool, wear your belt and stay safe out there. You don't have any restrictions without wearing.
Picked up somethings for lines to be extended. Got home and voila the mail man drop me off a gift.
Thought I would post this. I was looking be for mine showed up. My help someone down the road.
Took her out for the first ride today. Did about 13 miles. Around here iits a lot of ruff riding and rocky hills. She did good I think. Not as ruff as I suspected. Average speed around 8 mph. Lot of rain and never got wet. Would not of thought about going out if I only had my atv.
Never understood what the big deal was with the heat under seat until today. In the winter I like it. I do see the issue in summer. I think a fan is a must in summer. Thinking about doing something with vent for summer and maybe some kind of vent to blow heat on me in the winter.
Installed the dual battery system today. Hardest part was figuring out how to hold the battery in.
Had one of these laying around.
So I made one of these.
Glued some rubber under it and finished up wiring.

Got the light mounted and started my switch panel. Made it out of clear plexiglass. Was thinking about panting the back side of it or some kind of sticker that would show through. Not sure if it will work. If it don't it will make a good template for something else.

I did not see where your question about that red plug was answered. What you photographed was the diagnostic port used by the dealer to troubleshoot, take readings as needed.

I recommend a 40 amp relay to power that size light.
Ok. But what about the fuse. With a 40 amp relay does that mean I don't need a fuse. Sorry for asking but I'm not that up on elec.
I don't understand. This is the largest harness I can find. It's only good up to 300w. What does everyone else do with light bars larger.

I went with a 300 watt 52" bar to keep the amperage down for this very reason. 300watts/12volts= 25 amps..

I saw 300, then find a 40-50 amp
Fuse and some 6ga wire, sub-amp hookup kit should have everything you need.
