FranksE30 0 Posted June 23, 2022 Akatv any chance I could send you mine? I’ve got a 98 Foreman 450 ES when machine shifts, display reads wrong gear or no gear. I’ve changed position sensor and gear sensor with no luck. Thanks in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AKATV 820 Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) Hi Welcome to the forum! I have not seen a speedometer that reads incorrectly like that and have it be the speedometer or programming Unless your meter is completely blank in the gear position area I would lean more toward it being the angle sensor or gear position switch There are some good troubleshooting for them in the service manual If you dont have it you can download it here on the forum If you find that they both check out, I would be happy to take a look at your meter either way, but lets make sure its not something else causing the issue Post a few pictures I might see something that helps you out It MIGHT need to be reprogrammed, but it would be the rare exception. Do your hours and miles seem correct for the most part? Edited June 23, 2022 by AKATV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can most likely get you taken care of, but I would probably need to see a little bit more detail on what you have going on Post a few pictures and it would probably help if you remove the top cover of the speedometer and just take a picture of the internal circuit card I will send my contact information to your inbox as well Just wanted to brag on the prompt and swift work performed to get my fourwheeler screen repaired by @AKATV. He provided excellent communication, pictures and explained things very clearly. He is a true master at this craft and saving the old electronics to be renewed again! Thanks again!

GSM 0 Posted July 5, 2022 Pretty impressive work. My adult son (34), several months ago purchased 2004 Foreman ES 450 . He is not mechanically inclined thus had on his teenager hat ( from the days when he & dad went dirt biking & 4 wheeling),,, simply rode it, sounded good, thus he bought it. Moving forward, few weeks back he texted me stating it would only pull in 4 wheel drive. Thus I ultimately made a deal to Cash App him some money and bail him out of his problems, then made a 2 1/2 hour trip to pick up a project. Needless to say, rear axle & pinion will require replacement,, along with every moving suspension part in the front end. When I jacked it up the front wheels simply "flop" all around. Back in the day,, he and I had "3" dirt bikes and "2" 4wheelers, I maintained them,,but this was 18 + years ago since I last scratched my knuckles on TOYS. Here I go again,,currently working on the combination meter, as it was non-functioning when I got it,,after removing it, cleaning out the debris/corrosion with a "Q" tip, toothbrush and alcohol (rubbing,,,not about to pour my good stuff on it),, I managed to get all functions back working, although screen was sun burnt. Removed the polarization film from both sides of the inner lens with intentions of replacing it,, but somewhere along the way I have missed or gotten something out of whack. During last re-assembly the upper 4 lamps light up, the little LEDS along the sides light up when I turn headlamps on, but for the life of me am unable to get any of the display functions to light up ? Had taken it apart about 4 prior times ( just checking my progress along the way) and had all functions working ( gear selection, Odo, Trip, clock, Speedo, etc) and this last time ( as I was trying to determine as to the orientation of the replacement polarization film),,and display functions are dead. Any free suggestions are greatly appreciated. ,thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AKATV 820 Posted July 5, 2022 If you have removed the polarization films the display glass will not show anything until you replace the polarization films back on it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SailRedemption 133 Posted August 23, 2022 Hello AKATV, I'm in the process of bring my '98 450sw back to life and the screen is pretty shot. Not sure if it's repairable or not, but I'd like to have it fixed if you're still in the business. Attached is a picture of the screen after I pulled it. I believe the backlight worked last time I used it but the screen was failed. The screen has since gotten worse. I can send a PM if you need me to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
