Hello all,

I’m about to start trying and get my 02 Gems old DC/DC converter transferred over to the new sure power model. The recall was so long ago I am assuming its going to be a bear to get a hold of anyone that will help. Before I start calling Polaris dealers here in Florida I was just checking if anyone had a contact that could helpful with this process? I can install myself if anyone knows where to find the complete kit. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

The recall free-replacement window ended last year around June. I got mine done just in time. You’ll be able to find the actual converter yourself, it’s the harness that’s hard to find. I almost went down the route of creating my own with my own 72v to 12v converter I found but finally found a dealer (3hrs away) that would do it.

Don’t know the seller and not my listing, but this is what you’re going to want to find:

Wow. Thank you so much! I just bought it. I spent 45 min talking with Polaris earlier today trying to find the complete kit. If anyone else is looking for this kit the new part number from Polaris is #2878966 and it is on back order until July. Polaris number to call 1-866-764-0616. Thank you for your help.
