Nope not going to dealer sorry. Fixed on my own.

No, I cleaned up the melted wire off the grounding block which happened to be the only wire going to ground off the block the rest were coming from devices looking to be grounded. I reattached this ground it with a new connector and then pulled the 5,6 wires and wired them directly to the...

When it happened to me I was stranded in the middle of nowhere, luckily I had cell service and was able to google my way out of it. I simply tapped the yellow block and it started and stayed running until I got home!

You are very welcome Cptron, the wire that melted in my yellow block was the only one of the many that went to ground. It was number 1 in the diagram in service bulletin. All the rest are coming from devices some from the computer under and behind battery and the others from the top fuel pump...

Here is more info on the bulletin. https://ty4stroke.com/threads/ground-wire-service-recall-07-09.79440/ I think there is 12 or 14 wires in this block, they all are coming in to be grounded and only one small wire going out to ground, that's the one that melted on my sled. You need to rewire...

Its the yellow grounding block, the stock setup over heats and melts the tiny ground coming off from it. Here is the thread I started because mine failed the same way.. Do finds on yellow grounding block.. There was a bulletin for a preventive fix. Mine melted so I had to do some make shift...

I tested the resistance in every wire coming out of the yellow block, only #1 was good with .01 ohms. All the rest measure 14 ohms. That's bad, they should all have no resistance right? There is nothing after the block that would introduce that resistant on purpose is there? All the wire coming...

I have come to conclusion that I a, going to cut the yellow grounding block out and wire 3 pairs directly to battery. Moose do you think this will work? What is the function of the block? What would happen if it was deleted. The only logical reason I can see for all the ground to come together...

No dealer for me here in VT, I tried to get the part as well but no one has it in stock. You can easily fix this your self start at the yellow grounding block to right of oil tank near top. I am super close. I am pretty sure after tearing apart whole sled that the damage is isolated to the...

Thanks Moose. Does anyone have a manual in .PDF? I bought he RTX used and didnt get the manual.

First I have read all the threads on the yellow grounding block. i got the dread 43 code and sled wouldn't start. I also got 81. Anyway I found what I thought was a smoking gun. The number 1 wire (leftmost wire when tab is up) was smoked. I grounded that and fuel pump started to make noise. So...
