Question 07 griz 660 buzzes when start button pushed

I have an 07 660 griz that the start relay buzzes when you press the starter button. We replaced the battery a couple months ago and elect start worked fine. After the relay started to buzz, we replaced it. Still buzzes when we press the starter button and no action in the starter area.

You can pull start it, not easily, but it starts and runs well. Any thoughts before we disassemble to get at the starter?

Thanks

sounds to me like a low battery, how cold is it there? do you have a trickle charger? i recomend one, even a cheap one will get the job done and save you batteries

right now the computer is saying -17 F. We have had the charger on, but waiting for it to warmup a little before we check the wires under the body work. thank you for the ideas, we will let you know (am just hoping it is not a $300 starter)

We found a bunch of very corroded wires and connects (griz was once a submarine in a previous life). Disassebled everything, soaked in Coke-Cola and wire brushed. now everything works great. Thanks for the help!
