1996 Trail Boss - No Power
#1
I have found numerous posts about loss of electricity, but nothing quite like I am experiencing. I have a new battery, new ignition switch, new breaker, and a new solenoid. My problem is that I have 12 volts going to the battery, but I have no voltage registering on either side of the breaker, either with the key on or off. I have no voltage being registered ANYWHERE other than on the first post of the starter solenoid, basically from the battery to the solenoid. The frame and engine grounds seem fine. No major corrosion and are tight. I do have 12 volts if I have the ground from my multi-tester on the the red lead on the positive battery terminal.
I have checked continuity in the kill switch and that seems fine, but not sure. I guess I am still confused why I have no power on either side of the 20amp breaker with the key on or off. I have a new CDI unit coming too, but not sure that is the issue. I can jump the solenoid and get power to the starter, I just can't seem to get power beyond the solenoid.
I also pulled most of the connections off the fuse panel and cleaned then with contact cleaner before replacing them. Anybody out there have thoughts because short of replacing every electrical component, I am at a loss.
I was also able to get it started by using the pull start.
