We got the battery finalized on the Ranger, and it’s driving beautifully! Turns out they had two of the buttons reversed on the dash (?!?!)

Polaris Ranger EV Dash Indicator Lights
We lost a few lights on the dash of our Ranger – and the parts diagram shows it as one monolithic (and ninety dollar!) part. That’s … more than I want to spend to find out I’m in forward mode!
Looking at the back of the unit, though, there’s little slotted buttons — like a bulb that can be removed. And, yeah, there are bulbs in this thing. Six of them. Which you can buy at NAPA for about a buck a piece ($5 for a 5-pack). Or replace with LEDs for under $0.40 each (and you’ve got spares for the future). For this specific LED replacement, the negative side goes up when you install them.
Polaris Ranger EV
We’ve got a few petrol UTVs that are convenient, but it is a pain to keep refilling five gallon fuel containers so we can run these things. We tried to repair the 12v lead acid batteries, but that doesn’t look like a viable solution. Off to research 48v lithium ion battery options … until then, the Ranger is getting a bath.
