Big Country 6 x 4 and 4 X 2 Update
1. ISSUE: BATTERY DRAIN IN LONG TERM STORAGE (CC 431)
Some first-year production Big country Utility Vehicles
(prior to serial number 1A013B000001) may experience an electrical draw that drains the battery. The
problem will generally occur when the Big Country is
not in use for a month or more. If a customer has complained of this situation, the following change should be
made to the wiring harness.
1.1. Turn the engine off and remove the key from the
key switch. Tilt the driver’s seat forward and
check the serial number. If the serial number is
not legible, identify the wiring harness.
1.2. Remove the bolts, flat washers, and rubber
washers that secure the hood in the closed position using a 1/2” wrench. Open the hood.
1.3. Vehicles equipped with the wiring harness that is
subject to his occurrence are readily identifiable
by the location of the fuse box, relays and voltage regulator-rectifier. The fuse box is mounted
under the hood in a vertical position on driver’s
side of the firewall. Directly beneath it are
molded plugs for three relays. The regulatorrectifier is located under the hood on the passenger’s side firewall, directly above the battery. See Figure 1.3.
1.4. If not equipped with the effected harness further
diagnosis is necessary. If equipped with the
effected harness, disconnect the negative battery cable using a 7/16” wrench.
1.5. Unplug the harness connector from the pigtail on
the regulator-rectifier. See Figure 1.5.

1.6. Cut the two red wires that enter the harness

NOTE: It may be necessary to remove some of
the protective covering (conduit) from the harness.

1.7. Strip 1/4” of insulation from the loose ends of the
red wires that are attached to the harness plug.
1.8. Twist the stripped ends together, and crimp them
securely into the yellow butt connector.
1.9. Strip 1/2” of insulation from the end of the red
wire provided in the kit.
