On my 4 wheeler if I raise the front wheels off the ground and with the 4 wheel drive engaged you should not be able to turn the front tires two revolutions. You need to be more specific as to what you are trying to do because there are other electrical things that can be checked. Like if the 4 wheel drive will not engage. Previous test is only to see if the front end is engaged in 4 wheel drive.

The front end works off 12volts.If you have moisture in your dash your dash may not let your 4 wheel drive work and it could also not let your atv start if it doesn;t every start unplug your dash but your dash has to work to have 4 wheel drive.

You didn't put the year of your atv but polaris has to kind of 4 wheel drive systems.One is in the front end and one is in the wheel hubs if you have the one in the hubs if one is not working right it could not b unlocking it will make it pull to one side it happens alot.

Is the front end clear of mud? they sometimes get jammed up like that. Is it electronic or by Vaccuum?
