It still has a 50 amp fuse I don't know if it's the same type. Since mine was fixed a couple seasons ago I'm not convinced that it won't happen again.
Safety Recall T‑19‑01

by adding all the electronic mods we are overloading the factory wiring. It’s like using a 14 gauge house wiring instead of a 12 gauge. The more current you draw the bigger the wire needs to be.
That’s one of the reasons I ran a big fat wire from the battery to the front under the hood for my neutrino and other stuff.
If you’re running all your electronics off the factory wiring you are probably overloading the wiring.
True on all accounts and that's why I'm hoping be me going with the new battery cable upgrade with the alternator upgrade and running a separate fuse panel for my accessories , that I should be fine (knocking on wood again)
-
since this is an all year, nationwide recall.....can they deny us a free fix for having add on electronics?

Good question

I was out today getting used to this Pedal Commander I installed & going back out tomorrow but I will lift it up and open my battery box and give it a quick look over to see if I have any melting going on , my season is just about over anyway ....
-
Several folks out there are familiar with the J-case box meltdown.
And from the pics that I have viewed of the meltdowns, the fuse isn't the problem. The problem appears to be in the connectors. The socket areas around the connectors indicate high heat. Best guess, the female receptacles and blades are too light or too numerous to carry amperage draw.
Easiest fix would be to bypass the current J-case 50 amp fuse with a single lead wire 50 amp fuse.
That would lower the resistance from all those connectors in that small span.
Let's see what Polaris rolls out.
-
My thoughts exactly. So I will be taking it in for the recall because Polaris never could figure out why it melted. Now I'll be curious to see if they stand up and refund my money because one of the conditions that I signed off on was I would not make this public
Polaris has been pretty fair on reimbursements for those individuals that went out-of-pocket prior to recall notification.
You may have to pull out a receipt or a work order...
Either way, you will have to see your dealer for this recall fix and let him do the leg work for monies due you.

How can I get this part , has to be a way.........and save them the time and just go by there and let them verify , work completed lol
And that's a different type fuse also
-
Maybe you can in a few months, right now, the dealerships will be getting them all, unless they are buying this part from someone else.

judging by the fix that is posted above if you still have a 50 amp fuse in the stock location then you will still need the fix
-
Well, this looks like a good excuse for a lil cross country ride to the dealer, (200 miles.) I'll be giving them a call tomorrow to get specifics. The only issue is weather this time of year.

I have all of these items right now except the crimp, I never use crimps on any of my wiring jobs, always solder and heat shrinks.....
-
Got a source and part number for the maxifuse?
-
Just as a side note to everyone. I understand that some people who don't have issues with their ride may not want to have their recalls done. BUT if you like your selling dealer, you might want to do them a favor and bring it in. Not that they get rich off the service work, but they get rated by the manufacturer based on their recall completions. The better job they do to get their recalls done, the more the factory will go to help them out. Sometimes it uses it to get them parts sooner that are in a limited supply, sometimes it gets them more special edition or limited edition models to sell. If you're happy, help them out. If they have done you wrong, then well, you make your own mind up. Just thought you'd might want a second view on this
-
well according to the fix , the battery doesn't have to be removed , only the ground needs to be removed from the ground bolt, then the remaining work is on the fuse block 1hr tops unless you have other wiring and accessories in that area.....will add time to this fix for sure
-
Got a source and part number for the maxifuse?
Got the part # couldn't find a source lol
-
Well, you said you had all of the items, that why I asked. Was hoping to do this myself. I'm not happy with my dealer's mechanics.
-
Oh you was asking me lol I misunderstood ......I have fuse holders of this type and 50 amp maxi fuses ......AutoZone, Pep boys, Napa all probably carry these type of fuse holders except they won't have the metal clip as this one has to mount it on top of the existing fuse block
