The wheeler just started doing this out of the blue brand new agm battery with auto maintainer. It will not start with the break held or by pull start. Only starts with neutral wire from sensor jumped to ground. Again I just installed a brand new sensor right from honda.

OK take an jummper cable[use only one side] and ground to batt.and than the other end[ground] to the engine or frame to see if your engine ground is loose this may work if ground wire is loose i think it is on the right side sitting on atv around the starter area. does your headlights work?

Its a dual wire ground bolted to the engine via a single bracket. Clean and .02 ohms between the ground and battery cable end. The headlights work on high and low beam. The temp light does come on for a second as you turn on the key but it goes back out

Has your atv been in rain or deep water? have you sprayed wd40 into ignition switch to see if that helps switch made contact, temp light is surpose to come on for an second or two than go off that shows your alarm unit is workin, not an problem there... just spray into switch and wiggle key in switch and try.... Thanks
