So I FINALLY got my rincon last week, after selling a POS bombardier outlander. It's an 03 650. So I put all of 6 or 7 miles on it, now today i went to start it and it died. When I turned on the key the display came up, but as soon as I hit the start button, it went blank and everything died. No display, no headlights, no start, but the winch works. It acted like a blown fuse, but I checked all of the fuses under the seat and they are fine...what's the deal?

Welcome, check the battery cables and make sure they are tight (right rear wheel area).

okay...so I'm an idiot.

It was a loose battery connection...I didn't check it because the winch was still working... I'm off to the woods...

I like the easy fixes. Have fun and enjoy the ride.
