Rhino saying that it is going into reverse

[wheelerpeeler]

I have a Rhino 700 and when you are going in forward the reverse lite comes on and the rino goes into reverse mode. The rev limiter comes on and limits it to 20 mph. Does anyone know what is going on? Is there a reverse switch that could be the culprit?

Thanks

Wes.

Not familiar with the 700's, but on the 660's the wire is under the air box. There is a male "probe" coming out of the motor, and obviously a wire with a female plug pushed onto it. I had the same problem you are having, and this was the problem. If the wire with the female plug is even a tad loose (spins easily on the male plug) pull off the wire and crimp it slightly and put it back on it should be on firmly. You might think it isn't much difference when you do this, but it should work. Worked on mine.

On the 700 the airbox is under the hood I believe, but the wire should be in the same place. Under the center cover below the gear selector, but on the motor.

Hope this helps you out.

Thanks I will look.

you can also take this wire off and ground it out...you will lose the reverse light but you will also eliminate this from occuring. That plug actually comes apart and can be fixed and or replaced.

I still have not found this plug on my 700 if any one knows were it is let me know thanks.

This is the mod there talking about i wasnt having the same problems as you but this mod is to remove the rev limiter in reverse so may fix your problem too either way its the same wire.
