Thanks Shadetree.  I am just learning how to post on this board so hope I am doing it correctly.

doubt it..we are mostly 4 wheelers here..and a few 3 wheelers.  

ok..then you got other ele issues going on..reg/rec ?, spark plug coil ?, kill switch ?. run these test again.

Hello all!  My name is Ken Holmes, and I am a 77 year old rider of a 2005 Rancher TRX400FA gpscape. Dont do a whole lot of riding now but spend a week in Matachewan area in the spring and another week in the fall. Use the Rancher to tow aluminum boats to different lakes in the area.  Also spend one week in spring in Dorset area. No boat pulling there as way too rough. Just use it to get back into an old hunt camp for a men's get away of which I am considered a youngster. Two of my cronies are well into their 80's, and still use their 4 wheelers. My main reason for joining is to hopefully glean some information from other riders that do their own maintenance and trouble shooting. I will be scanning the Rancher Forum for answers to an electrical issue and will post a question for my problem specifically. Thanks again, hope to chat with a few of the members Ken
