The display unit on a Yamaha Kodiak 450 could stop working due to several reasons:

1. Battery Issues – A dead battery can cause power loss, which may affect the display.
2. CDI Failure – A failed CDI unit could impact the electrical system, leading to display failure.
3. Corroded Wiring – Corrosion in the wiring, particularly the brown and blue power wires, can prevent the display from receiving power.
4. Damaged Harness – A chewed or broken wiring harness can interrupt the power supply to the display.
5. Cracked Screen – Physical damage, such as a cracked display cover, could impact functionality.
6. PCB Damage – If the display unit's circuit board is damaged or riveted incorrectly, it may stop working.

These issues should be inspected and repaired accordingly to restore display functionality.
