Polaris Ranger 500 2x4 2007 - Gear Indicator Light Circuit Operation

10.6
ELECTRICAL
The switch remains in the “open” position when the park brake
lever is not applied.
The switch makes contact when the park brake is applied and
provides a ground path to illuminate the “Park Brake Light” in
the indicator panel.
TESTING PARK BRAKE SWITCH
1. Disconnect the Orange/Red wire and Brown wire from the
switch.
2. Place the ohmmeter leads onto terminals A and C. The
reading should be infinite (•).
3. Apply the parking brake. There should be continuity
between the switch terminals. If no continuity exists when
the park brake is applied, try to clean the switch terminals
and re-test. Replace switch if necessary.
Gear Indicator Light Circuit Operation
The transmission switch provides the ground path for the
indicator panel lamps located on the dashboard. For example,
when neutral is selected, the DG / WH wire is connected to
ground through the switch and the neutral lamp is illuminated.
If the light does not illuminate when neutral is selected, check
the bulb. If the bulb is good, check the wiring, transmission
switch, and lamp socket source voltage. Perform the same test
for all four gear indicators. Refer to the wire diagram for wire
colors.
