Well My 2002 SRX came down with an electrical issue, first one in 20,000+++ miles.
I was out riding by myself yesterday, -25c, windy day, 20 miles from nowhere...not smart.
I was crossing a very rough very large lake and the sled cut out momentarily followed by all my warning lights flashing just like right after initial startup. The sled then ran normally for a few miles then it did the same thing except dropped down to idle and died...miles from any shelter and out of cell range!
First thought was I should have taken my Apex!
I got the sled refired but it was running on Mag side cylinder only and would not take the throttle enough to engage the clutch. More trouble shooting showed no visual spark on PTO and centre cylinder and no lights, tach ,or fuel gage.
So I obviously deducted it must be a short somewhere...I looked every where that was acessable but nothing obvious...no luck.
Oh Oh!
After about an hour of trouble shooting and getting darn cold...fortunately... I remembered threads from this forum about no headlight after startup on the 2000 and up SRXs. I located the white load control relay, removed it, and started it up again.
Success! Those three cylinders firing away at idle never sounded so sweet! I buttoned it up and headed home.
Any suggestions as to where to look initially for the rub through?
