Voltage regulator

[super1c]

Hi guys. Think we have a voltage regulator problem on a 2020 sidewinder. Battery won’t charge, lights flicker ect. Will start with jump pack but runs rough. For the life of me I cannot find the voltage regulator. Do I have to remove exhaust to see it? Thanks! Chris

Replace the battery. Jump pack will start the sled but if voltage is low the sled will run rough. When you shut the sled off will it start on it's own without the pack?

No it will not. Had to jump it all day. But I did think battery also but it’s pretty new. But they can fail without reason for sure.

YES

Are all cables and connections tight? I.e. connections at battery and starter solenoid at battery, connections at starter (both negative and positive)? They often are loose.

I’ll have him check. I know battery area is good. Back to my question. Where is the regulator to check it? Do I need to take exhaust off?

Front of sled.. I do not think you have to remove exhaust. Hood for sure. EPS models the regulator was moved to front center nose i believe. Make room for EPS. I could be off on this. look for this

Under right side charge tube...take off panels and hood, you'll see it right there. Mine crapped out last year as well.
