Red reverse light flashing when going in foward gear

EAO HarleyMan · 2010-07-23 11:39:15

I have a 2006 Rhino 660 and the red reverse light on the dash panel lights solid red when in reverse gear like it it supposed to. When I put it in foward gear and start moving foward I will go about 200 feet and the red reverse starts blinking on and off as I drive foward. Has anyone else had this problem and know what is causing it.

Thanks

Jerry

I take it that nobody else has had this problem must be just mine. Oh well I guess I will tear into it and try to figure it out myself

Jerry, welcome to the forum!

I have never seen this happen before. My first thought is to check out the wiring. I dont suspect any major problem. I know that is not much help but I will see if I can come up with something more specific.

I seen this post a few days ago but i am not a rhino expert. I thought titan would jump in since he normally has answers for questions on the rhino stuff so i will give it a try now. Is the blinking light consistent when the problem happens like one blink per second or whatever, If not it is either chafing in wiring too short to ground or to positive on whatever system the rhino runs off of for switching. On Polaris some of the systems are switched on the negatived side which means positive to ground would turn on a light but that depends on the system used.....

Sorry I can not be much more help do to the fact that I am not fully familiar with yamaha's way for doing electronics......

The only problem I have had is sometimes my neutral light doesnt come on unless you wiggle the shifter a bit side to side but I think that may just be the switch is not lined up right.

Do you have the digital dash or the light cluster? It may be just a malfunction in the digital dash.
One of my Grizzlys had the digital dash burnout due to low voltage.

Thanks to all for the replys. Mine has the light cluster not the digital dash. It blinks on and off at one second intervals as I am driving. It stays blinking even if I stop,can put it in neutral and it stops blinking and the green neutral light comes. I can put it in reverse and it will come on solid red just like it is supposed to. But when I put it in foward gear it won't come on untill I start moving foward and the it starts blinking and it will stay blinking untill I stop and put it in neutral.

mines been doing it for ever, i would guess the switch in the tranny is causing but never bothered getting a new one to see.
