Remove the seat, and look just below the driver side. The left side of the engine just below the thermostat cover is where the sensor will be. If you disconnect the sensor, it can be removed with a wrench. There will be some coolant that escapes the block when the sensor is removed. When installing new sensor, install some pipe tape to the sensor threads before installing in block. Tighten new sensor snug, but do not overtighten. Hope this is what you were looking for, Daniel.

SOURCE: 2004 and a 1/2 polaris overheating ive changed the fan,thermastat,ecm,coolant sensor,rad cap, and flushed thrad out and it still overheats

If you have changed all those components and it still overheats, I would recommend checking to make sure the coolant is actually circulating. The best way to do this is to let your atv run for a while and check both hoses on the engine. Check the hose going to the water pump and the hose coming from the thermostat. They should be close to the same temperature. If they are not, your impeller in the water pump is not pushing the water through the engine. I have seen on occasion the plastic impeller melt. Also check to make sure that your coolant is actually getting hot. There are 2 sensors on the atv, one on the radiator and one on the head. The sensor on the radiator tells the fan when to come on and the sensor on the head tells the hot lamp to come on if it is too warm. Sometimes the sensor on the head will tell the ECM that it is hot prematurely. They are electronics, they can fail. Let me know which sensor you replaced and I can help you a little more if you need. Also it would help a little more if I knew the model. Thanks, Daniel.

SOURCE: 2007 polaris ranger 700 xp stop running all at once will not crank

sounds like a problem with the charging system on the battery. take a volt meter and check the voltage on the battery. If its lower than what the nameplate voltage is, it wont produce enough power to crank the engine. also check the wire connections.

SOURCE: I,ve a 2004 polaris 400 sportsman the cooling fan

You are checking the hotlamp switch only. Also check the fan switch on the radiator and the fuse.
The system powered by a red/black wire from the ignition switch, through the fuse to the switch on the radiator, then an orange/black from the radiator switch to the fan and a brown from the fan to chassis earth. The radiator switch is a simple on/off unit controlled by coolant temperature. Bridging this switch with ignition on should power the fan. Replacing it is straightforward as it unscrews with a wrench or deepwall socket. If not the switch, your problem is either wiring, earth or fuse. (Considering you've already proven the fan). See diagram for a simplified circuit.

I have a 2005 800 Polaris sportsman.there are four circuit breakers 6 amp,15 amp and two 20 amps. What circuits are they for?

Ok the 6 amp fuse is for the ecm the 15 amp fuse is for the cluster one of the 20 amp is main power the outher 20 amp should be for the starter and charging circuit .your over heating problem could be in the fan temp sensor you will find it on the left side of the machine on top of the thermostat housing , take and disconnect the plug on it and jumper the two wires togather with key on fan should come on if it does replace fan temp sensor .if not visibly pull each fuse out and look to see if is burnt odds of the fan being bad is very uncommon. This will be all good if is an EFI 800 hope that is helpfull

My '11 POLARIS Ranger 800 Crew overheats. Fan starts at 215, and cuts off at 205. WHY?

Hey Jack,
These temps seem a little high.. usually the fan comes on about 205+/- and cuts off about 180+/-.. Not exactly sure of the exact temps for your specific ATV temp requirements . ...but you might need a new temp sensor...
How have you confirmed these temps..? Why do you think its overheating? -- what symptoms..
