Electrical Service Notes
Keep the following notes in mind when diagnosing an
electrical problem:
• Refer to wiring diagram for stator and electrical
component resistance specifications.
• When measuring resistance of a component that
has a resistance value under 10 Ohms, remember
to subtract meter lead resistance from the reading.
Connect the leads together and record the
resistance. The resistance of the component is
equal to tested value minus the lead resistance.
• Become familiar with the operation of your meter.
Be sure leads are in the proper jack for the test
being performed (i.e. 10A jack for current
readings). Refer to the Owner's Manual included
with your meter for more information.
• Voltage, amperage,
included in this manual are obtained with a
Fluke™ 77 Digital Multimeter (PV-43568). This
meter is used
problems. Readings obtained with other meters
may differ.
• Pay attention to the prefix on the multimeter
reading (K, M, etc.) and the position of the decimal
point.
• For resistance readings, isolate the component to
be tested. Disconnect it from the wiring harness or
power supply.

SWITCHES / CONTROLS

Brake Light Switch

1. The brake switch can be accessed by removing the
driver's seat (RZR / RZR S) or the left rear passenger
seat (RZR 4). The switch is located under the outer
PVT cover along the lower frame. The brake
pressure switch is installed into the cross fitting block.

2. Disconnect wire harness from switch and connect an
ohmmeter across switch contacts. The reading
should be infinite (OL).
3. Apply the brake and check for continuity. If there is no
continuity or if resistance is greater than 0.5 ohms,
clean the switch terminals. Re-test and replace switch
if necessary.
