i got a 2011 rmk800 sled sat for about 2 months in the summer started up everything was fine started a week later..... now i have no power to dash lights tail lights and turbo oil pump headlights work fine what could this be???? thanks for the help!!

Where do you have the Turbo pump connected?

The headlights are separate from the the ECU/fuel pump etc.

Sounds to me like a fried Chassis power relay.

Other than the turbo oil pump... what other add-on electrical loads do you have?

it is connected to one of the extra dc power plugs by the primary clutch, air/fuel guage hooked to extra dc plug by headlight

where is the Chassis power relay located at?? is there a way to test it?? (just bypass it)?? Dealer where I am at sucks they are my last resort. Thanks for the help

That is a fair amount of DC being pulled from a circuit that is rated at max 2 amp.... Regardless of what some people or aftermarkets have been saying to the contrary.

A/F sensors pull a fair amount of amperage for the heater in them.

I'll be posting up a thread in the next couple of days with a better location and source plus setup for clean 10amps of DC power on a PRO... Without a battery.

You can jump it to test.. give me a bit to post that up.

I look forward to seeing that and putting it to the test.

Jump the red and the RED/White wire together to test...

DO NOT touch the White / Dark-blue wire with ground or power... that could cause ECU damage.

Thanks for the info, I will try that tomorrow

Is this a test for relay only or can it power up gauges after you jump the red wire to red/white wire?

 

[Rmkrida]

if you pull out the relay and jump the plug in, it should work for the guages
havent had the time to try it though
