3. The meter must show less than 1 ohm.
NOTE: If the meter shows more than 1 ohm of
resistance, troubleshoot or replace the fan motor.
NOTE: To determine if the fan motor is good,
connect the red wire from the fan connector to the
positive side of a 12 volt battery; then connect the
black wire from the fan connector to the negative
side. The fan should operate.
Power Distribution
Module (PDM)
The fuses are located in a power distribution module
under the seat. If there is any type of electrical system
failure, always check the fuses first.
NOTE: The ignition switch must be in the LIGHTS
position.
1. Remove all fuses from the distribution module.
2. Set the meter selector to the DC Voltage position.
3. Connect the black tester lead to ground.
4. Using the red tester lead, contact each end of the
fuse holder connector terminals individually.
5. The meter must show battery voltage from one
side of the connector terminal ends.
NOTE: Battery voltage will be indicated from only
one side of the fuse holder connector terminal; the
other side will show no voltage.
NOTE: When testing the HI fuse holder, the head-
light dimmer switch must be in the HI position;
when testing the LIGHTS fuse holder, the headlight
dimmer switch can be in either position.
NOTE: If the meter shows no battery voltage,
troubleshoot the battery, switches, distribution
module, or the main wiring harness.
FUSES
NOTE: To remove a fuse, compress the locking
tabs on either side of the fuse case and lift out.

1. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to one spade end of the
fuse; then connect the black tester lead to the other
spade end.
3. The meter must show less than 1 ohm resistance.
If the meter reads open, replace the fuse.
NOTE: Make sure the fuses are returned to their
proper position according to amperage. Refer to
the fuse block decal for fuse placement.
RELAYS
The 4-pin relays are identical plug-in type. Relay func-
tion can be checked by switching relay positions. The
relays are interchangeable.
NOTE: The module and wiring harness are not a
serviceable component and must be replaced as
an assembly.
Ignition Coil
The ignition coil is on the front of the air filter housing
behind the steering post.
RESISTANCE
NOTE: For these tests, the meter selector should
be set to the OHMS position and the primary wire
should be disconnected.
! WARNING
Care should be taken to keep clear of the fan blades.
CAUTION
Always replace a blown fuse with a fuse of the same
type and rating.
CAUTION
Always disconnect the battery when performing resis-
tance tests to avoid damaging the multimeter.
