See the Thermostat ^[2] topic.

Radiator Fan Switch

See the Radiator ^[3] topic.

Ignition Switch

Remove the front fender. See the Front Fender ^[4] topic.

The belt failure detection switch is located inside the CVT cover. See the CVT Cover ^[6] topic for more information.

If the switch is damage or not working correctly the cover must be replaced as a whole.
