the ground goes bad to the ecm relay and wont energize starter and fuel pump i show a simple fix to run a new ground to the relay and the ranger started right up
I don't remember how I figured this out in 2012... but one of the wires going into my 2010 XP Ranger ignition switch had a loose fitting "spade like" connector. Caused it to not turn over in the start position. I took a small screwdriver and expanded it a little to fit tight and fixed the problem permanently.
Thank you for your Time and creating video , before I attempt this, was situation a crank no start? or no crank no start? this ranger has a crank no start grounding issue. by first appearance, no fuel pump power no spark ignition but cranks good...going straight for i ecm, pcm, ecu. what ever we want, to call it."computer "
I have a 2014 polaris 800 EFI. Started running really rough. When I stopped it died and wouldn’t start back up. Starter won’t even click. Any ideas if this could be my problem?
Wouldn't this just be activating the ECM relay all the time, then? (Assuming we're talking about pin B8 on the fuse block - which is the ECU ground input to enable the relay). In that case, it would be a signal wire vs. a constant ground - At least that is what I'm seeing in the wiring diagram...
well i would think by 2018 they would have fixed that issue of bad grounds. and they no longer make 800 engines i would guess yours has a 900 engine in it just guessing i would suspect something else maybe a faulty fuel pump or the timing position sensor that gave me fits on one machine the wire going to it was rubbed barely making contact fine when cold but then when got warm it would seperate and then quit
I have checked all relay grounds by reversing a test light, the regulator, and a new solenoid. Is it possible the ecm is bad? Again the only things that don't come on are the fuel pump, head lights, and tail lights.
@@stevehicks3720 it sure does sound like the ecm ground is bad the way i found it is i had the test light hooked up and touched the ecm ground with the sharp end and i heard the fuel pump click on i suppose i had the key on to when i did it but its possible that ecm fuse is bad that square block fuse
hmm sounds like a short somewere it does run the fuel pump to i wonder if your fuel pump is shorted out i would unplug the fuel pump and see if it will hold the circut when you push the brake
We did try removing the fuel pump from circuit still blew it. Pulled brake switch plug and jumpered it turned key and fuse blew. I will check wiring for a rubbed wire.
Hello , I have a 2013 Ranger 570 with a crazy problem like that ... has spark , fuel pressure , compression , spins over good , but as soon as it hits one time , the check engine light comes on , turn the key back off , then engine light goes off , and process starts all over again !! Any insight ?? Thank you !!
I have a 2016 ranger 900xp when I turn the key on the speedo lights up but does not tell you what gear it’s in, also none of the rocker switches, radio, heater, or fuel pump not coming on or working have checked the ground wires going into the fuse box and both are complete circuits. Any idea what could cause this issue it’s really starting to make my head hurt
i would guess same problem as mine the ground wire in the harness has went bad polaris has crappy harneses they have such skinny cheap wires they break after machine gets some miles on it you will have to do just like i did get a ground wire to the ecu circit in the fuse box one way to check is take a test light put one end on the ground and take the other end and hit the top of the fuse and see if you can hear the fuel pump click if it does you have a bad ground to that or put clamp end on positive termanal not sure now
Same problem 2012 900 Polaris ranger all lights on dash turn on but the check engine light is on and won’t start or even turn over, I can hear a clicking when I turn the key
hmm probably a bad ground somewere i would hook test light to a ground and go in there and start checking relays if you here the fuel pump click then you found a bad ground
Thank you this was my issue on my 2012, this video saved me alot of time

These things cost way too much to have all these goofy problems.
This helped me so much! Thank you for sharing it
Totally fixed mine using your video! Thanks I spent hours trying to figure this out.
well good deal i worked along time to find it was ready to ditch it
We you had this issue, did it sound like she wanted to start? Did it start sometimes?
Hiw do you unhook the tabs to lift fuse block?
Thank you for your Time and creating video ,
before I attempt this, was situation a crank no start? or
no crank no start?
this ranger has a crank no start grounding issue.
by first appearance, no fuel pump power no spark ignition but cranks good...going straight for i
ecm, pcm, ecu. what ever we want, to call it."computer "

Any way I could get that diagram ?
This reminds me of the movie “the Abyss” when the guy was cutting the wires to the nuclear warhead
hahah yes but it is a preplexing problem i worked weeks on my ranger trying to figure it out
I have a 2010 polaris rzr 800s I'm trying to locate the crank position sensor? Not sure where this is located please help.
I found it
My 2018 is having a similar issue but it started off by shutting off while driving it. Is it possible that it would cause that as well?

And it won't turn over.

Check the batteey, it needs to have 12.5 voltage out or it Will on start
Hello, I have a 2014 900xp ranger and the ECM fuse goes when I push the brake to start it. The switch seems good.

or could be starter is shorted out to

@@raymondgingras4700 jump the selinod posts and see if it will turn over it wont start but at least you can see if it will turn over
Ok I will give that a try. Thanks for the help.
How long does it have to re-energize for?
well when i was poking around with tester i heard the pump kick in it happens instantly if you hit the right spot
Anything new in the sled shed?
nope sold all the deeres so none going
pupbiking aw man did you keep any for your self?
@@coopershuart6753 Well no i was keeping the 1984 sprintfire the last one but a guy wanted it so i let it go so all i have is some random parts left
pupbiking oh okay well maybe one day you can re gain your fleet

I have the exact same issue, have you got it fixed?
Same problem 2012 900 Polaris ranger all lights on dash turn on but the check engine light is on and won’t start or even turn over, I can hear a clicking when I turn the key
Mine is doing the exact what your saying but this did not work for me
hmm probably a bad ground somewere i would hook test light to a ground and go in there and start checking relays if you here the fuel pump click then you found a bad ground
I’m not certain I want to cut wires in my ranger
i understand but you got to get a ground to that relay put a snap connector over the ground wire with a new ground wire
ECM
oo yes but you get the idea
Brake sensor
sensor was fine the ground went bad to the ecm in the fuse block ive had it happen to 2 rangers so far
