LED Backup Light Dimly Lit When NOT in Reverse [Polaris Ranger UTV]

I will be installing a relay for a backup light on a 2016 Polaris Ranger XP900. This will resolve the issue of having the light dimly lit when the switch is off and/or the ranger is not in reverse. The backup light should only turn on when the Ranger is in reverse. This specific relay harness kit is designed to fit a 2015-2019 Polaris Ranger XP 900/1000
Relay harness kit: amzn.to/3x1nkmb

Super clear. Thank you!

[@josephwickman2697]

Great video and exactly how it should be done. If someone is still to purchase a light, there is a kit on eBay that has fixed the glow issue within the light harness itself, no need for relay. Hope this helps someone

[@codym7010]

Joseph can you send a link for that kit that has the issue fixed I don’t want to put in the relay I’d rather the light just work right

[@Stretch17]

@joseph wickman link?

[@kingair1021]

The light goes off after 2 or 3 min

Relays are generally very inexpensive. This one is very pricey. Is the dedicated ground critical? Most relays don’t have the dedicated ground and I’m not sure if that feature is required to fix the dim light

[@timalmich1964]

Where did you purchase the relay from?

[@condorsgarage]

Purchased on Amazon. The link to the one I have is in the description.

Where did you get your relay?

The bigger question is why doesn't Polaris have backup lights, cfmoto does. Polaris pay more get less. Same for canam.

Where can I get that relay setup?

[@condorsgarage]

I got mine from Amazon. The link is in the description.

Is this a problem on 2022 Polaris Ranger 1000 models?

[@condorsgarage]

I've heard of this issue happening up to the 2021 models. I would suspect it is likely a problem for the 2022 models as well.

[@carriewells9375]

Yes because it's back up camera not rear light plug in

[@renegade6604]

Yes I have a 2022 Ranger Premium XP 1000 Crew and it has this issue as well.

[@baja5racer1]

Yes I have a brand new 2023 xp 1000 and it still lit

[@JLeeChron]

So the fix for a $10 light is a $65 relay harness? Thats dumb as shit…..
Just leave it be. After machine is off for 5-10 minutes it goes out of dim mode and doesn’t affect battery life.

[@codym7010]

Mine stays dimly lit even with the key off. Has anyone else had this same issue?

[@walterbain3859]

Mine stays on all the time also......

[@michaeldesyllas3199]

Mine also stays dimly lit even with the key off. Did you come up with a solution?

[@codym7010]

No I didn’t but it won’t run your battery down

[@dzlrod]

Relay fixed mine

[@brucestover4370]

Do you have a part number for the relay
