That box cap seems to be MIA currently. 

It’s an electric shift but the ES only goes down or up 1 gear so we’ve been using the foot shifter. Finally got it started and able to keep it running so thought we’d run it out to see and clicked it down into reverse manually, backed it out of the garage and went to kick it into 1st and now the foot shifter seems to not be grabbing any gears and won’t shift out of reverse. 

Looking for a manual on the 2000 foreman TRX 450ES. Right now just for a fuse diagram. Currently running 2 10a, 2 15 and 2 30 but I’ve got an empty fuse slot and not sure which fuse to put in. 

Hey all, still fighting this quad. Finally got it pull started, let it warm up and backed it out of the garage and now it won’t come out of reverse. Tried pushing it back and forth with zero success. Foot Shifter seems to move up and down freely but not grabbing a gear or shifting.

i buy most of my oem parts from rocky mountain atv. but for starters ?, i buy them from db electrical, great prices, warranties are great, they stand behind their products, and ship fast, they are out of TN i believe ?.

Great! Thanks for all the help.

Welcome to the forum , First question ----  Is the solenoid a genuine OEM part , the ones sold on e-bay and amazon are junk  ---- Sure you hook the wires back up correctly as that is a common mistake ----  Do you have a good , clean , tight ground connection at the crankcase 

It’s not OEM. What’s a good site to order OEM parts off of? Eventually going to wind up overhauling this with brakes, tires and get the display fixed 

That was next step. Was hoping the cheaper options would remedy. Where do you guys get your oem parts for these older quads? Thanks for your reply 

Battery tests out good and is hooked up to a trickle charger as well. 

Hello all, I’ve got a project 2000 foreman trx 450 ES. Push button start doesn’t work. Replaced starter solenoid and when you push the button the solenoid clicks and nothing happens. Replaced all the fuses thinking that was the next step and had the same end result. Several other issues as the neutral light doesn’t come on anymore, ES Only allowed (when it was running) to go up to first or down to reverse, display screen doesn’t work. First time owner so this is all new to me and not familiar with electrical issues. Trying to avoid the shop. Thanks in advance.
