Notice yesterday that the icon for 4wd on the speedo was not coming and the front wheels not engaged, also the red switch light for 4wd is not working, could this be a bad switch no red light. were to start looking the 2 wd locks in and out thanks Greg

First thing I would do is check the switch for power. If you have power to the switch then check to make sure u have power coming OUT of each position. If u have power from each position then go to the solenoid that engages the awd and check for power there. Pretty simple procedure just need a harbor freight test light for 99 cents. If u have power down at the solenoid for the awd sounds like that will need replaced. If no power to the solenoid then u have a bad wire between there and the switch.

Be aware that most Polaris electronics are switched through the ground (not sure if the '10 XP is that way, but I'll bet that it is)......so you'll probably be looking for continuity through the switch and not for power (12 volts), in which case a test light won't work, but a cheap multi-meter will.

my midsize switches through ground ,contrary to my service manual that says it's powered.

Ok I pulled the switch and did the continuity test it worked ok as per manual without power not much for the 12 volt side. thing that gets me is the awd switch also doesn't light anymore

next thing I think is check to see if I have 12volts down at the front gear case plug front hub I guess. also have rear locker when switched to rear can hear it click in and out also feel it when turning

do you have power to the switch?

I guess I doe hear the clicking noise when I switch back forth from turf to rear locker and can feel it working but the red switch light is not on like it use to be also don't no were the power comes from

have you checked with a test light at switch for 12 volt, I have power on one terminal on awd switch and think this is for lights on switch as everything else goes through ground.
