CLICK! no start

Energy One
So i searched all over the forum and found CURDOG post. It was identical to the problem that im having. If you havent read his post to basically sum it up hit the run and all you hear is a click from the CR. The only difference is his fix was to upgrade to a new wire harness. what is kickin my ass is i already have the wire plus:bang: So my issue is i get no power to my little green wire to the starter. Is it possible to bypass the relay to get power? or do i have to replace that part of the harness, any help[ would be awesome.

If assuming your battery is good, and fully charged, pull the cover off the back of the starter relay, on top of your starter. 3 little bolt. First disconnect the battery of course. Pull the plunger and Clean all the copper contacts with a wire brush. That would be a good place to start.
 
Mr. Wright, thanks for the reply i guess i should have posted all ive done:D I did pull the starter cleaned inside and out, bench tested and all was good. got new battery fully charged and load tested. all connections clean and tight. When i pulled my green wire i tested it with multimeter and was not getting any power whatso ever with start button pushed.

Ok, sounds like you have it covered. I'm not the expert on the k-9's, so I'll let someone else take it from here.

So, I assume you already know this! With the wire plus you do not hit the run button before starting? Just turn on the key and hit the start button, I hope that's all it is... :D
 
You are correct Brew:lol: do you know if i can bypass something to get power to starter? Just to add i just retired after 20 years this past march!

Hang in there Scott, there isn't many on here right now. Sunday afternoon there out riding.
 
Well i did it!:whoop: i had my poor dog all torn apart wires everywhere. Mutimeter, jump wires, test light you name it everywhere. i found my problem by mistake:loony: so im testing and checking things and decided to start all over. So i went to pull my green starter wire off one more time to check volts and wouldent you believe it i pulled the wire right outta the crimp.:angry: So i cut and crimped a new one on tested the volts and POW its reading 12 volts when i hit the start button. So i plug it in hit the button and Vroom! this dog fires to life.:cheers: So i had this whole time a loose wire inside a crimp socket. It was soldered in and broke inside where you couldent see and was able to be plugged in and out several times and not break all the way. Thanks for hangin in with me on a Sunday Mr. Wright.:flag:

That is the bloody problem when soldering wires! They become brittle(?) and can't take vibration...

If you run enough solder to just make it out of the crimp and into the insulation and then use a good dbl walled glue lined piece of shrink tube they won't break on you.
