HELP, I bought a 2020 500S for my wife (she loves it) riding today it just died ...,winch works but no dash ,no power to a thing engine related nor the lights.
turn the key and zilch screen is dark.
Battery is 100%
Popped open the fuse boxes and they appear to be all good, the relays who knows.. all seem the same so I switched about but no change.
SOOOO here is the oddity...on the starter solenoid is a set of wires (4) in a connector with a 10 amp fuse (which is good) if I remove the wires (separate at the connector)  then replace...briefly the dash works then shuts off ..maybe 5 seconds tops.
What the heck ails this critter?
also of note:
I can jump the solenoid and spin the motor ..no sense in that as its got no fuel or spark (I'm pretty sure they need power too).
Its literally 11 months old and has about 290 miles on it.

Any thoughts before we return to the dealer?

 Hello CF MOTO HEADS...
 What a time I've had messing with my C force 500s...last post it died mid ride BOOOO!!!!
I have figured it out and wanted to share the findings.
last post I had checked the battery, fuses and such...nothing hmmm made no sense so the only thing i could think of was
I had to of missed something, so today I pulled every fuse and tested it again...and BINGO I found it, the fan fuse had blown but not in the usual spot    it appeared good but was not, so the only likely scenario is the "brain" knows the fan is out and wont let the engine run (so it cant overheat).
After replacing the stupid 15 amp mini fuse we rode all day trouble free.
Hope this helps someone else... oh and get a fuse puller the damn things don't have one and on the trail that's a bugger to deal with!!

Regards,
Frank

I checked the wiring diagram for my 2017 Zforce 800, and the fan is on an independent circuit, so this can't happen on the Z.

I'd be curious to see a 2020 Cforce wiring diagram ...
