AKATV 822 Posted September 16, 2022 If you have no LED lights as well you mostly likely have a power issue also Possibly a water damaged circuit board Does display illuminate when you turn headlights on? Posting a few pictures of what you have going on really helps as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AKATV 822 Posted September 17, 2022 Welcome to the forum I can most likely repair it for you it just really depends on what all you have wrong with it you didn’t say whether or not you have a reverse light when it’s in reverse? The best thing for you to do is to remove the plastic top cover and take a picture of the circuit card to see if you have any water damage and post a few pictures of what you have going on and I can answer you on what you must likely need to have repaired Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the help Shade I looked again but I am not seeing it- not from Bodie anyways? Bodie first said that he had no lights and then after that, he said he did have the red oil light when you turn the key on, then after that he had said he had no N or neutral light. I was asking if he had reverse light because it’s very very uncommon for the red LEDs to burn out, but the green neutral LED is fairly common to burn out, so I’m just trying to see if both red LEDs are OK then at least we know the LED circuit is OK and most likely he just has a green neutral LED burned out Edited September 17, 2022 by AKATV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AKATV 822 Posted September 17, 2022 Unfortunately water damage is pretty much the end of the line for these -but it really just depends on how bad and what you have damaged though Are you in the UK? I understand you can’t post pictures but what kind of problems are you having posting ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AKATV 822 Posted September 17, 2022 OK I was just wondering because I saw that you were checking a British Honda parts house in your earlier text I will send my phone number to your message box and you can send me photos that way if it’s easier Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ewoody 0 Posted September 18, 2022 Hello, I'm new here. I came across your post from a Google search. I just picked up an 04 Foreman 450 the other day from a buddies dad. He said the battery went dead last winter and now the display is stuck on km and miles read 9999999. He wasn't sure of the miles just said it was low since he didn't use it much. Everything else seems to be working as far as I can tell, haven't had much time to mess with it. If it is supposed to show the gear, I don't believe it does. Sounds like this would be an easy fix for you? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm located in KY,US. I have a 2000 TRX450ES Foreman the display needs some work, the whole thing works, all the lights and buttons etc but the whole thing is just dim unless you look at it the right angle. I can still make out the hours, ODO, trip etc. It does light up with the headlights on and all my neutral, and reverse lights etc work at the top. Thank you!

JRucker 4 Posted September 19, 2022 (edited) Hey AKATV, I've got an old 1998 Foreman (TRX450SW) that has a dead screen. This machine was inherited from my dad, so I have no idea how it failed, if the backlight just went out, or if there's something more wrong. If you're able to at least help get me pointed in the right direction for some troubleshooting to figure out if it's something you can fix, I'd appreciate it! I wasn't able to find much in the way of individual replacement parts, if you also have any suggestions for where to find some buttons, and the front plexiglass part, that would be great too! I grew up with this thing, I'd love to get the screen working again. EDIT: Oh! I forgot the backlight only comes on when the headlights are on. Looks like the backlight works, but the LCD has seen better days. New picture attached. Edited September 19, 2022 by JRucker adding image Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AKATV 822 Posted September 19, 2022 Hi and welcome to the forum! have those buttons missing is a real bad indication that that it is full of water and is probably corroded beyond repair But if you pull the top cover and post a picture of the circuit card we can get a better look at what you have going on I’ll send my contact information to your message box as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yogiblair 0 Posted September 20, 2022 Hey AKATV, I've been restoring my ATV after it sat for a few years in parts, looking to get my speedo cluster fixed. It looks burnt out like the one in the picture at the top, the digital display is barely readable. So I think it definitely needs an LCD screen, and it looks like you are THE GUY. I have a 2004 Honda Foreman 450 ES. I wanted to ask if the atv will run without the cluster hooked up to the bike. If I sent it off to you would I still be able to use the ATV around the house?
