Can't wait to see the results, just to satisfy my own curiosity... Thinking there is a massive "dead air" (static) air space behind the Sling!

MADDMOE, I just installed the Scorpio Alarm system! I increased the proximity sensor sensitivity setting as the factory setting was too low. Sure wish the instructions would have made note that the system was going to activate when I connected the last two connectors to the main module!! Damn that horn is LOUD!!!

I made a long pigtail with a "port plug" attached to my charger/maintainer. When I pull the Sling into the garage I plug it in (port between the seats) to the wall mounted charger to maintain the battery. The system works well!!

every time I close my hood after having opened it I walk around and check all 4 latches. seems there is always at least one point that needs a little extra push
When I close my hood, I check both sides to ensure it's latched, I do this as a matter of routine! In addition, we had just rolled in from the highway and the hood was fine when we arrived at the restaurant. No folks, the hood was neither left unlatched nor came unlatched while driving.

Then, with Sling powered on, and the brake lights illuminated without the pedal being depressed I would disconnect the brake switch... If the fin lights (and I'm assuming the brake lights) turn off I would suspect the brake switch. From the reading I've done these magnetic switches do not have high reliability ratings...

Wife and I headed out yesterday morning to meet friends for breakfast at a not too distant restaurant. Being a beautiful, cool morning we took the Sling. When we arrived the parking lot was full so we took an opening near the front door. Following breakfast we hit the highway for the drive home... and that's when we both noticed the front fenders were bouncing and the hood was lifting at the windshield! I dropped our speed and pulled into a gas station to see what was going on... I found the hood was unlocked at both aft locks... Someone had unlocked the hood while we were having breakfast!! I do not know if they opened the hood or just unlocked it... My suspicion is they lifted the hood as the two forward latches were locked!! Who in Hades would have the nerve to open someone's hood on a parked vehicle??????????? When we arrived home, I called my dealership and ordered the Scorpio Alarm System with the proximity alarm! I know our Slings draw attention, but opening a hood on a parked vehicle...

Have you checked your brake switch and wiring?? It's right in the path of going for the oil filter!

One more bit of information. Here is the Parts list from Polaris Parts showing the Clutch Switch and how it looks. May help. One added point, this is a Magnetic Activated switch, so it is not mechanically operated. All sealed and internal.
All, Thank you for the information. Spent some time under the hood and figured this issue out! The clutch interlock switch is a "Normally Closed" magnetic switch located aft of the clutch reservoir piston and forward of the clutch pedal mount bolt. You can see it below and aft of the clutch reservoir. the switch uses a simple "prong" mount with two alignment pins to maintain the switches mounted position. On my Sling, both mount prongs are broken off! It "appears" that to replace the switch you remove the clutch pedal (for access) and insert a new switch. Due to the wire routing and the "Check Engine" light being illuminated I'm going to let the Dealership perform the R&R of the switch. Thanks again for the inputs!!

Has anyone replaced their clutch interlock switch (2016.5 SL LE)? Mine has apparently failed, cannot start the engine with the clutch in. I "jumpered" past the switch to start the Sling but now have a "check Engine" light due to the jumper. I've looked, but can't figure out how to access the switch to trouble shoot it. Thanks in advance,
Ken
PS,
I apologize for my "blunt" entry to the forum... Unfortunately, my frustration with attempting to access the clutch switch overrode my forum manners! Just purchased a used 16.5 SL LE Sling a week ago and while cleaning it I disconnected the clutch pedal to gain access to clean the foot wells... Unfortunately I did "something" to the clutch switch but I can't figure out how to gain access to the switch to look at it...
