No, wrong plug. The Poo tether I bought #4010849, plugged in to the black 2 blade connector that's tied up in the connector bundle by the steering post. Pop the hood off and undo the velcro'd bag and it's in there.

Did you guys find that your key switch does not work after installing the tether?

both the key switch and handlebar switch should work like normal after the tether install.

Mine worked fine,installed the tether started the sled,pulled the tether and it killed the engine...then had the tether unplugged and started up fine with the key.

Nope. Everything works as it should.

Found the main connector for all dash equipment must not have snapped in when I plugged it in and it was disconnected. Works fine now but the tether switch is a hair trigger. Any very slight pull (even to the side) shuts the engine down so I added a small filler in the tether switch rubber boot part and now it is not a hair trigger.
I do the mountains a bit and found the tether a must as it saved my 2002 RMK from going too far (when I was bucked off) thanks to the belt drag on a dead engine.

Drill a 1/2" hole,put the washer on the inside,then screw on the top part and it should work fine...Maybe u have the washer on the outside and it is keeping the tether alittle higher making it easier to pop off.

Nope, did er right and it did work fine as per instructions. Would work fine as it was but I did not want it to be a hair trigger so a small adjustment and it takes more pull to kill the engine. Still kills the engine before the rubber outer part even comes off the switch housing. Rudy...did you buy your sled from Elk Island Sales? My 02 RMK came from their and my sis lives in Bruderhiem. Do you ride around Fort Sk? Ever ride in the park?
