Does this still shift it electronically, just bypassing the Honda wiring harness or is this to convert it to a manual shift?

Thanks shadetree! I'm going to try the battery first. That would make sense as it was after dark so I was using the headlights and also just idling for quite awhile. We'll see what happens.

Hi guys, I'm new on here. Bought a 2004 honda Foreman 450 ES this spring. Been using just a little, yard work ect. Last few weeks been towing a portable turkey coop, the thing is heavy. Moving it about 10' a day. Tonight when using it it doesn't want to down shift into first gear. Upshifts just fine and down shifts all the way down to first then won't go into first without several tries. I can hear the shift motor trying but just doesn't shift. Seems to be getting worse real fast. I also don't know how to manually shift it. So help with that would be great too. I'm not real mechanically inclined but can figure most things out with a little guidance. I don't have any manuals for the machine. Any help would be appreciated!
