Hey there, I am looking for a good, trustworthy mechanic/shop in central Alberta.

I have an '09 AC Mud pro with electrical issues.

I have had it In to 3 different shops & paid over $1500 combined, and the problem(s) is still there. Neither one of the 3 shops will work with me to resolve the issue.

So I am looking for suggestions to get this thing fixed.

Thanks

I feel for you man. Electrical issues can be stupidly expensive to track down, particularly if they are intermittent. What kind of electrical issues are you having?

Which shops have you been to?
Kinda hard to give you options if the options we give are the ones you've been to.

With that being said, have you tried Saylers in Lacombe?

Lets just say I wont take it back to any of the places in Wetaskiwin or Camrose

I have not tried Saylers

I am just tired of getting screwed, I would prefer an AC dealer that knows what they’re doing, and not turn some unserpervised apprentice loose on the machine.
Thanks

A buddy had one, Wiring harness was worn through in multiple places. I think they patched an rewired most of the main harness.

Issues are many.
Basically, it keeps blowing fuses (different ones all the time), kills batteries.

The last time it ran, I took it out for about a 20km rip. In the morning it wouldnt start and EFI is flashing on the screen
doesnt start to this day.
Clearly thete are some wires rubbed somewhere, I just want somebody to take the time to find where and either replace the harness or fix the short(s)

Mechanic at work was fixing a mud pro electrical problem today

Not sure what he found but it’s fixed.

Other big issue with intermittent issues, is trying to test drive it enough to confirm it's fixed, unfortunately sometimes your the test drive as I'm sure you would not like the bill to load it up, drive it somewhere you can ride it good and hard with all elements that go with it, then bring it back and clean it up so your not mad it's dirty, plus it probably be 2 machines and guys on test drive just in case it dies

Unfortunately even a dyno for a quad, doesn't have the elements that can be the cause to short out

Electrical sucks! Guys don’t like to pay much when it takes hours to find the issue and a 0.50$ chunk of shrink tube fixes it. It you can take it apart and have a good look at the harness. Probably a pinched, worn or broke wire somewhere.

Look right beside the fuse box where the harness crosses over the frame. Then check on the right side frame rail. Lastly check around the steering column. Those are the most common spots for rub through.
The wires that run into the throttle body can also be an issue as they didn’t give them any strain relief and they break inside the outer coating so it’s not readily visible.

If you don't know electrical then Id suggest just installing a new harness and be done with it
