My speedometer wasn't functioning and as a result neither was my AWD. I was able to resurrect the speedometer as well as the AWD. I did this on a 1999 Sportsman 500 but I believe this same speedometer was used from 1996 to 1999. Maybe 2000. On a few different models.(The outside anyway looks the same as my 2002 as well.) My scenario and how I was able to fix it may not be exactly the same as yours. But I will explain how to remove the speedometer and take it apart to get inside to explore what your issue may be.There are a lot of good threads and a fantastic blog out there with pictures and great step by step instruction. And since I was doing this I figured Id supplement some of that with a video of my experience. This seems to be a very common issue with the speedometer and AWD from these years. I hope this is of some help.
Below is the link to a blog I found very helpful and dives much deeper. Even if this video covers what you need I strongly recommend checking out the link for more information. If you haven't already.
