Ok my last forum got really long and i tried all the suggested things and found out more. Thought I would condense them into one list of everything I have tested and found out.
Here is my problem - I get nothing when I turn the key.
Some things I have tried and found out -
- I have continuity through the positive on the battery to the positive side of the starter solenoid. ( that wire is good)
- I have checked the fuse on the starter solenoid with a volt meter. That is good!
- battery is reading 13.0v (so I know that's not the problem)
- I can read continuity to the negative wire on the key switch to the negative side of the battery. So negative wire does not seem to be the issue.
- I took off the wires connected to the break switch and connected them and when I do, I get continuity though the positive and negative wires on the key switch. (Not sure if that's right but I have tried having them not touch as well. Does change the readings that I get.
- I have disconnected the kill switch wire directly from the cdi itself, so that can not be the problem!
- I have a good ground and can verify that with a volt meter
What I still don't get?
- the starter solenoid has 3 different wires going to it or from it. All 3 make my light tester go off except the prong going to the positive wire in the key switch. I get a reading of 13v at all the connections except that one. Could that be my problem? Bad starter solenoid? Although I don't get a 13v reading at the accessory wire either? Help please
