Dim headlight, no dash readout?

Runs fine but now my light is dim and nothing on dash but a blinking brake light. 2007 rmk 600 h/o. Help!
thanks

My first guess would be a voltage regulator, very common on efi sleds, not so sure on the carb models

Have you figured this out? My 2009 assault is doing the same thing. New voltage regulator didn't help. I read about a relay on a 2014, but I can't find one on mine

On mine voltage is good then starts dropping after about 4 minutes or so. When it gets to 7.5 gauge goes out. If I unplug hand warmers it goes up to 9. Unplug headlight and gauge it goes to 14. Put new voltage regulator and relay, and another stator from running sled. Still same result. Could it still be a bad new voltage regulator?

My 2009 Shift (carbed) dim the headlight and the dash lights and can occasionally go back to normal and then dim again. When it's warmed up it's fine so I'm thinking it's something with the stator.

My thinking is that the winding's or something shrink/expand with temperature and causing a voltage drop.

This was a typical problem on the 2007 carb model. It was fixed with a new updated regulator/rectifier. Some of them will need a new dash gauge, the failure burned the gauge.

Turned out to be a bare wire shunting the voltage after the dealer replaced the vr and stator then charged me for all

SOLD it

Too bad, those were great sleds and even better with a Carls 685.

so, as i was unplugging tail lights, hand warmers,etc,the ecu burned up ,bought new one and there is no spark. i cant get it to power up with ecu power up wires, is there a fuse that could have blown or any other ideas to look for now
