- Here is a short video that i have been planning to do for a while. It covers why i constantly have my red reverse light flashing in my videos.

None of the Grizzlies from 2002 and up come factory with a reverse override button. The button you are referring to is actually the diff lock override button. Here's a few reason that I know of as to why the reverse light on Kodiaks and Grizzlies can and will flash. If you rev the engine up in neutral or park and hold the RPM'S up for roughly 10 seconds or more, the reverse indicator light will automatically start flashing. This is normal. This happens because the speed sensor isn't sensing any speed, causing the CDI to bypass the reverse switch and sends a quick back and forth open and closed signal to the reverse indicator light. I know this wasn't your issue, but I just thought I would throw that info out there incase someone runs into that. Second reason could be a bad speed sensor, or a bad reverse indicator switch. I've done this mod on several Kodiaks, but what I did was I added an extended wire to that green and white wire, long enough to reach an off / on switch, and then another wire from that switch back to a ground. This way you can just flip a switch, or push button switch when you need to override the reverse limiter and then flip off if you want it back to safety mode. And doing it this way, the reverse light won't flash or stay on unless the override is on. Hopefully this helps someone.
Thank you for video I was looking for sonething I could do without having to change anything so I ran a ground wire and its been working perfect ever sense just have to be sure to get a good ground
Thanks for this video I did this and now no more limits to getting unstuck
I have 2007 yhamma grizzly 350 it has been the best atv I've ever had it throws a fit and needs a part or two every once and awhile but yhamma makes the best ATV there is
can you do a video on the snorkel
Nice tires and rims
Yamaha 350 my reverse light blinks too but only does it when I go full-throttle going down the road
Hi, how do you remove battery out of battery box rhino 660 2007
I gor an 2004 grizzly and my overide does nothing when pushed in reverse. IF stuck in mud and you are in reverse it cuts out and your pretty much screwed
It happens to a 2005 grizzly like my
Hello ruyguy, i have a question, how does the dash know what gear the transmission is on for example P D N R on the dash? My dash doesnt light up on which gear it is on, i have a 450 kodiak, and the dash looks like yours with a green button. Does the starter switch tell the dash which gear it is on? I dont know which cable tells the dash which gear it is on, there is no cable on neutral switch. And yes I am asking you this because it does not crank.
There is a gear positioning sensor that's on the right hand side of the 660 motor casing, i don't know exactly where it would be on the 450 however it should be close. It's a magnetic contact sensor that can get dirty over time or simply fail. That is what sends the signal to your ECM and into your dash to indicate your Neutral position.

@@ruyguy8888 ok i saw the video i at least know which one is the connector
@@ruyguy8888 mines dont have gear positioning sensor. however the more I press the starter button the louder the starter solenoid clicks, I check voltage on that cable and has 1v. I dont know what this means. I will try to investigate.
My friends 2015 700 has that button to
so you just find the wire. cut it. splice a new one where you cut it and ground it ? thats it ? or you also keep the connection to where it was going. What im asking is does the wire end up a three way or still a two way
That wire will end up a 3 way connection. Essentially all you are doing is grounding the appropriate wire on both sides of the splice via a single wire to ground.
@@ruyguy8888 My 2002 660 almost got me in a serious situation, with no room to turn around, and no power to back up, on a steep sand hill that had collapsed into a ravine. I am tired of that damn stutter from the limiter when I need power in reverse. I rarely need the full power, and can't live with a flashing reverse light all the time. Wondering if I could put in a 3 way toggle switch, with one input(original feed from under seat) going in. With the two outlets on it, I would connect one back to the original wire that I cut, and the last outlet would ground to frame. Theoretically this would only ground it out when I flip the switch, when I need the power. I'm not looking right at my wheeler at the moment, but does this sound feasible or possible?
@@havoc2000 I got the same bike
I had a 2003 Grizzly 660, it did not have a reverse override button, and the reverse limiter was working correctly. Occasionally my reverse light would flash too. Maybe it was 2004 they added what you was talking about?
Might have been Andrew. I just remember my buddy's 03 having the button on the control, however i didn't ask if he had purchased a newer module with the button on it to rectify the problem.
I have an 04 and my reverse light has recently started to blink as well and I have a reverse override button. Any thoughts on that??
I, too, have a 03 Grizzly with no override button.
Good morning friend, look, I have the same ATV but the fault is a little different, when it accelerated while parked or in motion, the reverse warning light comes on and if I continue accelerating, the temperature warning light comes on, could you please guide me to solve this fault?
Sounds to me like your reverse sensor is failing. When you rev it up in park or while driving forward a faulty sensor can throw a fault code showing that there is something wrong with the transmission. it thinks its in reverse travelling too fast.
I would start with that. If your temp light is coming on as well and you know for sure that it's not overheating, then it sounds like you also wither have a faulty temp sensor or you may just have a shorted wiring harness causing both of those faults at once.
Thank you very much friend, look, the ATV started to fail since we attached a harrow to it so that it could be pulled. At that moment, after a while, it got hot, because of a plastic screw that goes in the engine compartment and since then it has been failing.
What if it is more then the reverse light, my 06 is flashing g all the gear lights and multi other warning lights, it just started happining.
First thing id do is check the battery output. if its good over 12V, then start tracing wires in the harness for continuity on the dash plug to your CDI harness plugs.
it sounds like there is a voltage or ground issue
May need a new battery. Happened to me after 7-8 years on 2005 Kodiak450
ok dude.. as a atv mechanic... watching your video.. i see nothing of the post of the reverse light blinking.... so i replaced the speed sensor switch... BOOM.. problem fixed... if the problem continues after replacing the speed sensor switch.. check the CDI. for a ground loss.. goodluck
If you watched the whole video i explained that it's blinking due to the reverse ignition cut out (part of the speed sensing circuit) being bypassed to give me full power in reverse since this is a 02 model and doesn't have the manual override.
If i where to disconnect the ground wire used to bypass, the blinking stops. There was never any issues with the speed sensor.
I've long since sold this ATV in 2019.
My o6 silver tip grizzly 660 has the gas gauge flashing empty even at full I dunno?
If the little white sensor plug for the fuel level guage is no cut or disconnected, you will need to replace the fuel level guage. I had to do that on mine as well many years ago.
not hard but you will need to pull your tank plastics off.
@@ruyguy8888 thanks bud
Could I install a speedometer on a 2004-2006 Yamaha grizzly bruin 660?
Yes they have aftermarket speedos for the grizzly and the bruin
Is no bruin 660 lmao
Batterie
My 03 did this for 15 years years or so one day i hit a lil jump and it just stopped lmfao
But it was solid it didnt flash
9 min of my life and still hasn't explayed why my bike blinks without that ground wire hack
Your speed sensor is messing up. You're welcome for the 9 mins.
This is actually incorrect. The 2004 grizzly override button only provides full power whe the diff lock is engaged. It has nothing to do with providing full power in reverse. You can hold that button all day and reverse is still retarded on the 2004.
3:12 "...and what I've done" is wrong.
While your circuit is a good solution, you used the worst possible electrical connection.
3m Scotch locks or any clone there of, are extremely horrible. They cause increased resistance. They introduce moisture into the harness. And they sever strands of your wire. It's not recommended by anyone who's knowledgeable in mobile electrical.
The best thing would be to get the correct connector. A 3 conductor weather proof type. Lastly you can also
solder in a wire to it and seal it with something like liquid electrical tape or something similar.
Totally agree. I sold this ATV a few years ago with over 18,000kms without a issue due to that modification. Not recommended to do it my way, but i worked with what i had.
