Well, I'm in the RZR crew now, good or bad. 😆
I located OLD threads here on this but am making a new post so sorry if its overly hashed out already. Many don't post their solution once fixed but I will do that to help others.
Supposedly it had a charging issue. I assumed either stator or rectifier. Bought a new fully charged battery that is in it now.
Trying to get it started I discovered the fuel pump never cycles. I tested the wires red to Brown I get 12+ volts for less than a second, maybe half a second then the voltage drops to about 5V after the fuel pump relay clicks. The fuel pump harness contains 3 wires, red, purple and brown. I think the purple must be the fuel level sender.
I swapped the relay for another and tested them both to function, same result.
I read that I should test PIN# 28 on the ECU for going to ground 2-3 seconds when the key is cycled, and this activates the relay is my understanding. I do not have an ECU to swap and test it with. I would think that in the half second that the fuel pump is at 12V that it should at least make a noise. The thing sat for 3 years since the issue began. Once I locate the ECU I will do this after work soon, likely today. I don't like to play the parts swap guessing game without diagnosing an issue personally. Ive heard of a lot of electrical shorts in these as well.
Can anyone give me more tips and ideas to try? Does the TPS have to give a signal to the ECU to allow it to continue powering the fuel pump? Should I just run my own fused and switched line to a new fuel pump?
I bought this RZR from my sister to get her out of the deal since I can repair things and she can't. The engine was recently rebuilt and on the first ride the electrical issue started. It was told to me that the battery died so they assumed stator or rectifier then it was parked 3 years. The fuel in the tank was real stinky. It has a car battery in it, does that kill the stock charging system? I can see both sides of this issue.
