2006 Honda rancher 350 4x4 electric shift isn't working and will not start. The problem first surfaced as intermittent operation from the electric starter, then complete electric starter failure and the "N" flashing three times. Replaced angle position sensor, no change. Checked continuity in accordance with service manual, read .2ohms higher than the manual calls for across the angle position sensor from the ECU plug (could just be the my crummy multimeter). Got as far as I could without the ECU diagnostic plug, voltage and continuity in the wiring checked out fine.
Out of curiosity, I started tapping on the shift control motor with a wrench while holding on the start button in, this actually would allow it to crank over!
She will rope start and run, but shifting is out of the question, and the same "N" three blinks fault occurs. I am really leaning towards the shift control motor as the issue here, but would really like to hear some more takes on it! Let me know what you think!
