did you double check the wires?
and fuses?
mabe you forgot something......




did you cut all the wires at once,
or one at a time?

 

are there fuses somewhere?...........actually the wires had been cut already........i just removed the wirenuts...........and yes i checked them 10 times.........

 

there are fuses on the quad,
probably near the battery...........
I had to change a fuse on my 400 because i got to many neons on it

i'll go look where they are and get right back to you......

 

on second thought it's raining like a ****.
i'm not going out in that $h!t
the fuses should be there somewhere........

good luck.......

 

Hey thanks alot.....checked the fuse....15A........and it was blown.....I didnt even know there were fuses on this thing...thanks for your help.........

thats good news man............

glad i could help out................

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]why did you cut the wires????!!! every wire has a connector in it. you disconnect the wires, and then just pop the ignition thingy out.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]
