my 400ex has some sort of elec. prob. sometimes it just shuts off and wont start- it has not juice the neutral light wont even come on no lights or anything. its not a loose connection i checked all of them. now if you fiddle with the fuse sometime the neutral light will come on but if you try to start it it just goes click. the click noise comes from near the battery. also the light comes on if you kick the battery a few times( was being kicked because it died and i pushed it home 2 miles through the woods) any help or ideas would be great thanxx

Pull the fuse(s) out and look at them, It should kind of make a curve (out of the metal in the middle) and if the curve is broken or looks black or just not clean just buy a new one. I would still put the same size fuse back in (i think that it is a 15 but not positive) because it is made to break under too much ampage so just put the stock one back in there. Good luck, its a very cheap fix and should get you up and running. Cya
