cable first).
Fuses
Fuses protect the snowmobile electrical
system from overloading. If electrical
parts in the snowmobile are not working,
the system may have been overloaded and
caused a blown fuse. Before repairing or
replacing any electrical part, check the
appropriate fuses. If a fuse blows (opens a
circuit), all the parts of the snowmobile
that use that circuit will not work.
Once which fuse to check has been deter-
mined, perform the following steps:
1. Open the right-side access panel;
then on the 5000 models, remove the
fuse panel cover (the fuse panel is
located behind the battery). On the
2000 models, remove the fuse
holder cover and disconnect the
fuse.

NOTE: On the 5000 models, there
are spare fuses inside the fuse
panel.

NOTE: On the Bearcat XT GS, the
towing
accessories
fuses
are
located beneath the seat.
2. Remove the suspected fuse.
3. Look through the clear side of the
fuse to see if the element inside is
burned or separated. If it is, the fuse is
blown and should be replaced with a
fuse of the correct amperage rating.
4. On the 5000 models, install the fuse
panel cover and close the right-side
access panel. On the 2000 models,
install the fuse holder cover.
Even after replacing a fuse, it may con-
tinue to blow if the cause of the overload
is not determined. If the fuse continues to
blow, take the snowmobile to an autho-
rized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer for
service. If not under warranty, this ser-
vice is at the discretion and expense of
the snowmobile owner.
CAUTION
Before installing the battery, make sure
the ignition switch is in the OFF position.
CAUTION
Connecting cables in reverse (posi-
tive to negative and negative to posi-
tive) can cause serious damage to
the electrical system.

! WARNING
Always replace a fuse with one hav-
ing the same specified amperage rat-
ing. Using a fuse with a higher rating
can cause severe wire damage and
could start a fire.
