| At the back of the speedo, there is a fairly large electrical connection. Be sure it is tight & not corroded. The AWD system wiring goes through the pod, so if this connection is bad, it can affect ... |

Do the lights come on?
If not, check things like the battery connection, or a dead battery itself.
If they do, check things like the wiring (which you already did) and the keyswitch. Also be su ... |

| That was my thought, for around here, you can get an older, but usable snowmobile for less than a set of tracks. For those that do a lot of snow riding, I think that would be the way to go. In addit ... |

| I like Spike's specs, but I'd go with torsion axles instead of leaf springs if you plan on using it a lot. Stronger, quieter, and no shackles to wear out. |

| I haven't either. Any parts breakdown I have seen shows the CVs with the male spline on the CV, and the U-joints with the male spline at the gearcase. |
