Hello all-

Moved over here from the Polaris world.

Just picked up a 2009 m8 and a 2005 m7

Both have little issues.

The m8 had an inoperable gauge cluster. Nothing is seen. No lights no nothing. I have seen to check the fuses. Found 3 and all were good. Have seen to check the tail light. It works. Have unplugged and replugged gauges. Shill no joy. Next steps? PO stated it worked last season.

Ideas?
Thank you
Rob

PS the m7 has a couple issues as well but I will throw them in another thread.

On my '09, the connector between the hood harness and the chassis isn't sealed real well. My speedo started reading zero all the time. When I unplugged this connector, it was starting to turn green inside. I cleaned it out really well and used LOTS of dielectric grease to re-assemble it. Been working since.

Might check that connector... It's right at the front of the hood.
Good luck!
