REPLACING THE VCM CONNECTOR
1. Locate the two electrical tape pieces on the middle
VCM connector. Peel and remove the electrical tape
closest to the connector of the VCM harness as
shown.
2. Raise the white terminal lock into service mode by
inserting a small flat bladed screwdriver through the
access windows in both sides of the outer connector
body. Pry gently upwards to push up both sides of the
white terminal lock.
3. The white terminal lock will come up 3.8 mm and stop
due to retaining tabs on the sides. There may be an
audible click noted.
IMPORTANT
Do not remove the white terminal lock from the outer
connector body.
CAUTION
If the white terminal lock is removed, the terminals can
fall out of position. Avoid excessive movement of the
harness/connector to ensure the terminals stay in their
locations.
4. Using Terminal Removal Tool PF-52576 remove the
Red Wire (Pin 11) from the connector block. Insert
PF-52576 into the small, round release slot of the
associated terminal(s) until it releases the terminal
retainer. Gently pull the wire out of the connector.

I-19-02 (R03) © 2020 Polaris Inc. Page 4 of 7
5. Measure and cut approximately two inches from the
end of the Red Wire (Pin 11). Discard the terminal
end of the wire.
MEASUREMENT
2 inches
6. Using a Wire Stripper, remove approximately 1/2
inch of insulation from Red Wire (Pin 11) and the new
terminal wire.
7. Install the solder tube onto the wires.
8. Using a Heat Gun, apply heat to the solder tube until
the tube is properly secured around both ends of the
wire as shown.
9. Insert the Terminal Removal Tool PF-52576 into the
small, round release slot of the associated terminal(s)
until it releases the terminal retainer. Gently pull the
wire out of the connector.

10. Remove and replace the wires from the old connector
block to the new one. Refer to the CONNECTOR
BLOCK PIN LAYOUT image and table when
replacing the wires. After replacing each wire, listen
for an audible click and gently pull on the wire to
make sure it is secure.
NOTICE
For best results, extract and replace pins from the
connector block one at a time while transferring them
to the new connector block. Leaving the Terminal
Removal Tool PF-52576 in the place of the pin you are
replacing may also help to avoid confusion about what
terminal the wire came out of.
IMPORTANT
The bottom end of the connector pin has a terminal
retainer tab that allows the pin to clip into the terminal
block.
This raised tab must ALWAYS face the outside of the
terminal block when installing the wire into the new
terminal block.
NOTICE
The white terminal lock must stay up at the service
position for all wire replacement. If you are having
problems with the wires not coming out of the terminal
block, double check that the terminal lock is in the
service position.
STOP!
Once all of the pins have been transferred to the new
connector block, place a white piece of paper between
the electrical wires as shown. Take a picture of both
sides of the connector and wires and submit the photos
to the ASK Polaris case.
11. Press down on the white terminal lock to release it
from service mode.
12. Cut a 3 inch strip of electrical tape and wrap around
the harness wires as shown.

In some cases, riders have experienced an unexpected loss of forward lighting while riding (headlight / fog lights). Loss of forward lighting can reduce visibility, which may increase the risk of a crash.

 

What Indian Motorcycle and your dealer will do:

Indian Motorcycle is currently evaluating a remedy to this concern which is targeted to be available in the Fall of 2019.

Once the final repair plan is available at dealers, Indian Motorcycle will send another letter with additional instructions.

Once available, the remedy will be performed free of charge.

If you have any concerns with the forward lighting on your vehicle prior to the solution becoming available, please contact your authorized dealer for additional information.

 

What you should do:

Power up the motorcycle and confirm that the forward lighting is functioning properly. If the forward lighting fails to perform as intended or if you have any concerns with the forward lighting, contact your authorized Indian Motorcycle dealer and schedule an appointment to have your motorcycle inspected. If the forward lighting fails to perform as intended, or you do not feel safe riding your motorcycle, work with your Indian Motorcycle dealer to arrange transportation. Do not attempt any repairs yourself. Repairs must be done by an authorized Indian Motorcycle dealer.

 

If you have questions or if you need more information:

While your Indian Motorcycle dealer is in the best position to answer your questions, if you have any questions that your dealer cannot address, or if you need assistance finding an Indian Motorcycle dealer, please visit our website at http://www.indianmotorcycle.com or contact our Indian Motorcycle Customer Connections Department by calling 1-877204-3697.

If you believe that the dealer or Indian Motorcycle has failed or is unable to remedy the defect within a reasonable time, you may submit a complaint to the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue S.E., Washington, D.C. 20590, or call the toll free Vehicle Safety Hot Line at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

This notice was mailed to you according to our most current registration information. If you no longer own your Indian Motorcycle, please contact your local Indian Motorcycle dealer to have the ownership information changed. The Indian Motorcycle Consumer Service Department cannot change ownership information without identification. Federal law requires that any vehicle lessor receiving this notice must forward a copy of this notice to the lessee within 10 days.

 

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause you. Your safety and continued satisfaction with your Indian Motorcycle is our primary concern. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

 

Sincerely,

Indian Motorcycle Company
