Auto Shut Off is a Problem

1747 Views 2 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  SOVAATVRIDERS
I have only had my 2012 Outlander 800 a few weeks and there seems to be an auto shut off feature that kills the power to the 12 volt output when the machine is not running. I can only operate a stereo, pump, etc for about 10 - 15 minutes after switching it to the auxiliary position, and then it will shut the equipment off. Lights and computer remains on, but the machine will not start or power equipment through auxiliary until the computer is reset.

I apologize if I'm missing a thread on this topic, but I have not found anything yet related to my issue. If it is an auto shut off feature, I would like to know if there is a way to bypass it? Any help, will be greatly appreciated.

They have an automatic shutdown to save battery power and also if you leave it idling unattended it will shut off. Just rewire your 12v output to a wire that is hot all the time, maybe to the winch contactor which is always hot.
