I'm looking for some help with a problem that seems fairly common on these sleds, I have a 2017 switchback 800 pro s that does not have electric start so it has no battery but the battery light is always on and the headlights are always blinking as well as the hand warmers and high beams only work at high rpms. I am trying to replace the capacitors on it but am having troubles locating them, Does anybody have some pictures of where they are on the sled as well as how many there are. Is the plastic tube with wires coming out of it in the Velcro bag by the oil tank a capacitor? Is this one I should also replace along with the ones i can't find? Thank you very much for the help, its greatly appreciated!

There is a load shedding relay that shuts off non essential items at idle. (Normal)
If it’s flickering off your idle is set too low and the TPS needs adjustment.
would it still be the load shedding relay even if there are no accessories on and I am riding around at 3000-4000 rpm and the lights are still flickering and the battery light is solid on? I feel like something is wrong because the headlights are never not blinking.
Ah.
Relay right above the clutch side Upper shock mount. (1”x1” ish square)
One is exhaust valve the other is gauge and headlight.
Potentially also could be a voltage regulator. (Small box above primary clutch)
I have replaced 3 of the relays but have not replaced the voltage regulator, my friend had the same issue and what fixed it was the capacitors. Thanks for the information.
