06 fusion 600 bad volt regulater
- Thread starter toolie
- Start date
Just had to reply to this. I had the exact same problem w/ my 06 600. Had the VR replace at a dealer at a price I'm too ashamed to post but now also have problems with my handwarmers. Went riding last Friday and still can't feel the tips of my fingers. Could the new VR be that much different than the old one?
docs 88- After your fingers thaw out, (lol) I would take your sled back to the dealer that replaced your VR. I would think it would be under warranty. Have them figure it out and let us all know what the heck is going on. I have a susspicion that the old VR fried the hand warmers. But then again all my lights were not blown. I guess I should have gone to school to be come an electrician.
Yes, I have installed the VR on my sled. Everything works great except my hand warmers. Haven't had a chance to look at yet. I wouldn't order from
Babbitts. Order from www.partspitstop.com. A little cheaper. Babbits hosed me. They wouldn't honor there price when it dropped to $77.00

That sucks! I'm heading up tonight, I sure hope the VR was the problem. I didn't see any obvious loose wires or anything like that but I didn't get a chance to test it out.
I didn't have any troubles with my brake light (so says the guys I was riding with), but I've read on other sites that Polaris' and other sleds have had trouble with the brake lights grouding out under the seat. Might be worth taking a look at.

Well the voltage regulator worked well and fixed all the problems - handwarmers, gauge and headlights. I rode it about 970 miles that way, really enjoying it, and then the engine locked up. Not sure what yet, but I dropped it off at a mechanic I trust. I'm assuming it's a piston at best. I think I'll have it fixed, I'll break it in, and then put it on ebay. Everytime I ride the think, something breaks. There are about 6 iq's/fusions in the extended group I ride with, and none of them have had any real problems, so I'm not down on Polaris. Just think mine has demons or something...
I finally ordered my VR from PartsPit. I guess they had a new vendor and now it has a new part number and a new price $163....still cheaper than the dealer but still way too high. I'll have mine in next week.
Iusmiit-I think yours was built on Friday. What will the next choice of poison be?

Iusmit- I'm glad Your new VR worked for you. I couldn't help but laugh when your engine locked up. Sorry. It seems like you just can't win with these fusions. Know I am worried that something like that could happen to me. How fast were you going when it locked up? I just dropped mine off at the dealer to have them look at my electrical problem. Hopefully i will here something by the end of the week. I truly hope there is nothing to majorly wrong with your sled. Keep me posted on what happened as i will keep you updated.
