O3 Summit: No lights/handwarmers

O3 Summit: Lights/Handwarmers quit working!

The head light/hand warmers/instrument panel on my 03 Summit 800 do not work, or work very itermitantly. I checked all the wiring harness connections. Does anyone have thoughts?? Could it be the voltage regulator??

Thank you!

It's the relay by the oil reservoir.

I have seen a relay go bad making the lights not work, but not sure if it effected the hand warmers. It's a small (about 1 inch) black cube in the wiring harness. I think it's inside the right side pannel rivited to the frame.

Just something to check.

on my '05 it's inside the L/H side panel and yes, about an inch square.
It will cause you to lose lights, warmers and on my '05 the tach and gauge cluster.

Go to any auto parts store and get a FOUR (not 5) prong 30 amp relay.
@ 3/4" square with a mounting tab molded into it.
I found them at Joes Sporting goods yesterday for under $4.00 each and DOO wants @ $30.00 for one.
Use some dilectric grease on it to seal out the water and Viola!
Same part exactly!

Thanks guys, you were right on. Bought the relay at CarQuest for $8.
