Ignition Switch; Handlebar Control Switches - Arctic Cat 700 Diesel ATV 2007 Service Manual

Ignition Switch

The connector is a four-wire one. To access the con-
nector, the cover must be removed.
VOLTAGE
NOTE: Perform this test on the lower side of the
connector.
1. Set the meter selector to the DC Voltage position.
2. Connect the red meter lead to the red wire; then
connect the black meter lead to ground.
3. Meter must show battery voltage.
NOTE: If the meter shows no battery voltage,
troubleshoot the battery or the main wiring har-
ness.
RESISTANCE
! CAUTION
Always disconnect the battery when performing
resistance tests to avoid damaging the multimeter.
NOTE: Perform this test on the upper side of the
connector.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
2. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position.
3. Connect the red tester lead to the red wire; then
connect the black tester lead to the red/black wire.
4. The meter must show less than 1 ohm.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the LIGHTS position.
6. Connect the red tester lead to the red wire; then
connect the black tester lead to the red/black wire.
7. The meter must show less than 1 ohm.
8. Connect the red tester lead to the red wire; then
connect the black tester lead to the gray wire.
9. The meter must show less than 1 ohm.
10. With the switch in the OFF position, connect the
red tester lead to the red wire and the black tester
lead to each of the remaining wires. The meter
must show an open circuit on all wires.
11. Connect the red tester lead to the red wire and the
black tester lead to the brown wire. With the
switch in the ON position, the meter must show
980-1020 ohms.

NOTE: If the meter shows more than 1 ohm of
resistance, troubleshoot
switch/component, the connector, or the switch
wiring harness.
Handlebar Control
Switches
The connector is the yellow one next to the steering
post. To access the connector, the steering post cover
and the right-side fender splash shield must be
removed (see Section 8).
NOTE: These tests should be made on the top
side of the connector.
! CAUTION
Always disconnect the battery when performing
resistance tests to avoid damaging the multimeter.
RESISTANCE (HI Beam)
1. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the yellow wire; then
connect the black tester lead to the gray wire.
3. With the dimmer switch in the HI position, the
meter must show less than 1 ohm.
NOTE: If the meter shows more than 1 ohm of
resistance, troubleshoot
switch/component, the connector, or the switch
wiring harness.
RESISTANCE (LO Beam)
1. Connect the red tester lead to the white wire; then
connect the black tester lead to the gray wire.
2. With the dimmer switch in the LO position, the
meter must show an open circuit.
NOTE: If the meter reads resistance, trouble-
shoot or replace the switch/component, the con-
nector, or the switch wiring harness.
DIODE (Starter Button)
NOTE: If voltage is not as specified, check the
condition of the battery in the meter prior to
replacing the switch. A low battery will result in a
low voltage reading during a diode test.
1. Set the meter selector to the DIODE position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the orange/white
wire; then connect the black tester lead to the yel-
low/green wire.
