How to add push button start switch on 2005 Kawasaki mule instead of the key switch
To add a push button start switch on a 2005 Kawasaki Mule instead of the key switch, you will need to follow these steps:
1. Remove the key switch from the dashboard of the Mule. This can be done by unscrewing the retaining nut on the back of the switch and pulling it out of the dashboard.
2. Locate the wires that are connected to the back of the key switch. There should be three wires: one red wire, one black wire, and one green wire.
3. Cut the red and black wires, leaving enough length on each end to connect them to the push button switch.
4. Connect one end of the red wire to one terminal on the push button switch, and connect one end of the black wire to the other terminal on the push button switch.
5. Connect the green wire to a ground point on the Mule's chassis. This will typically be a bolt or screw that is connected directly to metal.
6. Test the push button switch by pressing it while turning on the ignition. If everything is wired correctly, the Mule should start up without any issues.
It's important to note that this modification may not be legal in all areas, so be sure to check your local laws before making any changes to your vehicle's ignition system.

HS400atv, will not power up. Battery is definitely charged. Ignition switch replaced once, week later had the same issue. Is there a module i should be looking for instead?
If your HS400ATV is not powering up even with a fully charged battery and you've already replaced the ignition switch, there may indeed be another module or component that could be causing the issue. Here are a few possibilities to consider:
1. Main Fuse: Check the main fuse for the ATV. It is typically located near the battery or within the fuse box. Ensure that the fuse is not blown and is making proper contact. A blown main fuse can prevent power from reaching the ignition switch and other electrical components.
2. Starter Solenoid: The starter solenoid is responsible for engaging the starter motor when you turn the ignition key. If the solenoid is faulty or not functioning correctly, it can prevent the ATV from powering up. Inspect the solenoid for any signs of damage or loose connections. Consider testing the solenoid or replacing it if necessary.
3. Kill Switch/Safety Interlock: Check if there is a kill switch or safety interlock feature on your ATV. These safety mechanisms are designed to prevent the ATV from starting under certain conditions, such as when the brakes are not engaged or if the ATV is not in neutral. Make sure these switches are in the correct position and functioning properly.
4. Wiring and Connectors: Inspect the wiring harness and connectors for any loose, damaged, or corroded connections. Pay close attention to the connections between the battery, ignition switch, and any other modules or components. Clean and tighten any loose connections, and repair or replace any damaged wiring or connectors.
5. Electronic Control Module (ECM): The ECM or other control modules could be a potential source of the issue. These modules control various electrical functions in the ATV. However, diagnosing and testing these modules often requires specialized tools and knowledge. It may be best to consult a professional ATV mechanic or an authorized dealer who can properly diagnose and test the modules if needed.
If you've checked these possibilities and the issue still persists, it is recommended to seek professional assistance. They will have the expertise and equipment necessary to diagnose and resolve electrical issues specific to your HS400ATV.

I have a 2010 Arctic Cat 550 H1 EFI and it stalls sometimes but always restarts. The fuel pump and regulator were both replaced with no effect. You can be running along and it just dies.
https://www.google.com/search?q=2010+Arctic+Cat+550+H1+EFI+stalls+sometimes
Based on the information provided, there could be several possible reasons for your Arctic Cat 550 H1 EFI to stall. Here are a few potential causes to consider:
- Clogged Fuel Filter: A clogged fuel filter can cause a lack of fuel flow to the engine, leading to stalling. Even though the fuel pump and regulator were replaced, it's possible that the fuel filter may still be clogged or dirty. Consider replacing the fuel filter as a troubleshooting step.
- Faulty Ignition System: If the ignition system is faulty, it can cause the engine to stall. This could be due to a number of reasons, such as a failing ignition coil or spark plug. You may want to have the ignition system checked by a mechanic.
- Air Intake Issues: Problems with the air intake can also cause stalling. A clogged air filter, for example, can restrict airflow to the engine and cause stalling. Make sure to check the air filter and clean or replace it if necessary.
- Electrical Issues: Electrical problems, such as a faulty sensor or loose connection, can also cause stalling. You may want to have the electrical system checked by a mechanic.
- Fuel Injectors: The fuel injectors may not be working properly, which can cause stalling. Have a mechanic check the fuel injectors to ensure they are functioning correctly.

Battery light flashing while driving
A flashing battery light while driving on your Polaris 700 EFI could indicate a problem with the charging system. Here are a few possible causes:
- Faulty alternator: The alternator is responsible for charging the battery while the engine is running. If the alternator isn't working properly, the battery won't receive a sufficient charge and the battery light may flash.
- Loose or corroded battery connections: If the battery connections are loose or corroded, the battery won't be able to receive a full charge from the alternator.
- Failed voltage regulator: The voltage regulator regulates the output of the alternator. If the voltage regulator fails, it can cause the battery light to flash.
- Failed battery: If the battery is failing, it may not be able to hold a charge even when it's being charged properly.
It's a good idea to have your Polaris 700 EFI checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose and fix the problem.

I have a 2006 Polaris sportsman 800 twin with efi diagnostics and when I drive the quad it’s sounds fine but when it starts to turn on the cooling system a loud rattle turns on and it gets louder when I turn the wheels, the noise is coming from the front
The loud rattle that you hear when the cooling system turns on and when you turn the wheels may be caused by a few different issues. Here are a few possibilities:
- Loose or damaged components: It's possible that a component in the front of your Polaris Sportsman, such as a fan blade, is loose or damaged and is causing the noise when the cooling system turns on. Check all components in the front of the vehicle to make sure they are secure and not damaged.
- Loose wheel or steering components: The noise may also be caused by loose wheel or steering components, such as a wheel bearing, tie rod end, or ball joint. These components can become loose over time and can cause a rattle or clunking noise when driving or turning. Check these components for wear or damage and tighten or replace them as necessary.
- Engine or transmission issue: It's also possible that the noise is coming from the engine or transmission and is being amplified by the cooling system turning on. Have a mechanic inspect the engine and transmission to determine if there are any issues that need to be addressed.
It's important to address any unusual noises in your vehicle promptly to prevent further damage and ensure safe operation. If you are unsure of how to diagnose or repair the issue, it's best to seek the help of a qualified mechanic.
