I need your help guys; I went to start the cat today it cranks over for a second then nothing. The light are out, no power on the neutral light everything is dead. I check all the fuses under the seat they are all good I also check the main 30 amps fuse under the fender that also good, I put a screwdriver across the starter solenoid, the bike crank over just fine but wont start, the battery has lots of power over 12 volts. I check all the connection but I cant find anything wrong with it. Did I miss a fusible link somewhere? Is there a place I could find a wiring diagram somewhere on the net. I need help.

 

Sounds like the ignition switch is not turning on. Could be in the key assembly or the wiring at the switch. Hope this helps. Good Luck.

 

No i try that too and everything is find, i even took a multimeter to it and there is no power getting there at all, but thank anyway.
Come on people help me..............

 

I don't have a cat so I'm only talking in general terms here....but look under the rear fenders around the frame area for anything with wires...a lot of machines have a fuse near the right rear fender.

 

Do you have a winch installed? If so.. check the wiring harness connections in and around the steering column. When a winch is installed the connections around the steering column may have been disconnected to aid in running the wires up to the key. I had a similar problem as you only the bike would die when i turned to the left. Seems the connections were snapped back together properly, turnin the handlebars would move the harness just enough to break the contacts and the bike would die on the spot, turn the wheels to the right and she would fire right back up. Yours may be a similar problem in that the connections may not be properly snapped together.

 

Can't help with a wiring diagram, but if the battery is good and the starter had power, tracing the power lead to the ignition switch is the next logical step. Keep trying. Good luck.

 

THUD YOU ARE THE MAN. Well this morning before I went to work I tried what you said, first I turned the key on, turned the handlebar to the left, nothing, then when I turned them to the right, well, well, the cat woke up. All my lights came on, I hit the start button, the kitty was cured. All I got left to do now is find the connector but that's only a minor problem now.

Thanks alot for your help, I really appreciated it, you saved me lots of money just before Christmas.

P.S: See guys this forum really works.

Thank: Slowcat....

 

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once and a while LOL...... Of all the times I've tried to help guys out on these forumns that was the first time I've been right LOL....

 

Great job guys. I love a happy ending. I always enjoy going back and checking out the cat form, too bad other forms couldn't co-operate as much as the cat guys do. Hey thud, should we call you the cat doctor.
