We have a 2016 axys with 1100 miles on it. The issue just started today, sled ran fine all day, my brother said he noticed the headlights flicker this afternoon right before we came back down to the truck. We got to the truck and shut it off while we changed, then went back to load them up and it wouldn’t start at first. After couple tries it would idle but bog out and try to die with any throttle input, so we pulled it on the trailer. Once we got back to hotel we started it and it will rev up now but realized the headlight, taillight, Brake light, gauge aren’t working and sled will not stay idling on it’s own. We’ve checked connections, switched at console, and swapped relays but don’t have another sled the same to try voltage regulator. Right now we are thinking voltage regulator or stator. Has anybody had an issue like this? Thanks for any help
2016 axys, no headlight, tail light, gauge power, won’t stay running.

I don’t have spare relays with me, I am going to try to get some this morning. I have taken all connections apart and put dielectric grease on terminals two years ago. Do you know what the relays control? There are the two above y pipe on cross tube, and one above clutch. I was told one powers exhaust valves, one powers oil pump, and one is chassis relay. I’ve moved them around last night with no difference, nowhere in south fork has any, there is a Napa in next town I will run to this morning. A friend of mine that’s not on the trip has a 17 axys that he pulled all three relays out of last night and his sled would still start and headlight, tail light worked with all three unplugged. That’s what had me thinking it maybe wasn’t the relays.
When my relay went out, my gauge and headlight wouldn't work. Also my power valves wouldn't open. Swapped out all three relays above the Y pipe and all my problems were solved. They didn't look bad on the connections either. I am guessing inside. I went ahead and ordered spares to have on the shelf.

Have you checked this issue out?

BURNT UP STATOR CONNECTOR, CAUSES AND SOLUTIONS??
Have my engine out on my 16 to redo the top end and this is how i found my mag connector when i went to pull it apart to lift motor. Showed it to the Polaris tech at my dealer and he thinks its caused by corrosion in the plug causing arcing across the contacts.

I have not yet. We ended up renting a ski doo from randy/ Michelle at their new dealership in south fork. Today was our last day to ride so I’ll dig into it when I get home.
On a side note I can say I won’t be buying a ski doo. The one we rented was a 2020 summit sp 165-3” it could climb very well but I couldn’t wait to get back on my khaos for the handling in the trees.

Are the light bulbs blown and thats why they aren't working? If so, regulator. If bulbs not blown, I would guess capacitor. The voltage regulator if bad can cause a bad capacitor too, so could be both by now.

Did you solve this? It sounds the same as my issue with 09 assault. But now the ECU burned up and no spark. New ECU, still no spark.
I believe the issue is the same as others have had in the axys section lately. I tore into it finally tonight and the white stator connector is melted internally. My phone died while out in my shop so I didn’t get pics but will tomorrow. I also have my weatherpack kit at work right now so I will get that tomorrow and real ace the connections and see if it solves the problems.
