I have a 2009 Kymco People 150.

The battery is fairly new and was over-wintered on a battery tender, which is showing full green (100% charge). The horn and brake lights work. I'm able to kick-start the engine, but the the ignition switch is dead. No clicking; nothing. Already checked: kill switch, ignition fuse (replaced).

The bike was stored for 5 months in a climate-controlled basement, so I don't think humidity should have caused any issue.

What can I check/fix to get the electric starter working?

Are you pulling in a brake lever when you try to use the electric start ? Ether one must be pulled in in order for the starter to get power . A bad brake light switch can make a lever not work . Also check the killswitch as I have seen a few who had it in the off position and wondered why it would not start .

Sorry I just re-read you post and you said no clicking. Ok, I will assume you had the battery out of the scoot charging. So did you connect the cables to the SOLENOID? The POSITIVE to one of the terminals on the Solenoid. The other terminal on the Solenoid goes to the starter.

So do this TOUCH BOTH terminals on the Solenoid and see if it spins your starter.
