Please help, cant find any info.
My Grizzly cranks and runs great, never had any issues before. I installed a new battery, not sure if problem created itself while not in use or cause new battery install. When anything electrical comes on, engine will die immediately. Key on, not running, headlights want turn on. When I try, neutral lights go out like all power is lost. As soon as I turn them off, it's back on.

Welcome from Colorado.
This weekend may be a tough time to get a lot help here as members are out riding, but hang in there.
I would make damn sure the battery connections are tight. I loose ground can cause low voltage and things do not work.
If that is not it, you may have a grounded/rubbed through wire somewhere. Some have pulled one fuse at a time to check different electrical systems. If you pull a fuse and the problem stops, check that system further.
A f.s.m. can be had on-line for cheap at tradebit.com

Thanks for the update.....
Nicked wire, or something broke in the switch?
