I have a 2017 MRZR D4. I have been told like everyone else that US Federal Regulations prohibit Polaris from selling parts to civilians r servicing these vehicles. I spent a couple weeks in the Army and know that for every rule there is an exception so I started digging. Reaching out to Polaris Defense I was brushed off with the claim that these vehicles are covered by Title 10 U.S. Code. If you haven't delved into this, its HUGE, literally thousands of pages. Oddly, while it does cover the sale of vehicles requiring Govt permission, there is NOTHING prohibiting the sale of parts. Next I researched EVERY contract between DoD and Polaris, guess what... NOTHING there prohibiting the sale of parts either. Now I am really confused and start digging deeper where I found that Polaris internal policy says they will not sell these parts to civilians.

Personally, I am starting with calls to my Senators and congressman to see what pressure they can apply to Polaris. Suggest that other owners raise the heat as well, get your elected representatives involved. What can it hurt, right?
good luck with that….while ur at it, see if you can get them to sell us JLTV’s as well.

the engine doesn’t crank, nothing to do with a dead spot in the starter, it’s as if the truck is being started in gear or like a bad neutral start switch.
if you leave the key in “start” and push the brake pedal, you hear a click, like activating
a switch of some sort, the engine won’t start unless the brake is depressed by design, in park or in neutral.
How would the blackout switch affect starting?
fixed the starting issue, here is the aftermarket starter off amazon for $128

There is one on Facebook not me, don’t know the guy. I have a few of the other style, since the bolts are steel and the rims are aluminum there is a chance some of them will snap as you attempt to remove the old tire.
