I am tired of messing with it ,the dealerships around here will not work on arctic cat ,the last independent shop kept it 6months and charged me 500$,put in a battery and it sits on the trailer like always. Dead. Now I got no electricity to the key ,don't know what he did except rip me off . Bought it from Bass Pro in 13 ,of course they no longer fix anything I guess I got a boat anchor for sale.
I would unplug the voltage regulator for a couple days and see it the battery still drains down. The plug can be a little stubborn after ten years. About $120 part on those and will help you sell it for a lot more than a boat anchor.
