Hi Everyone, I am new here and I hope someone might be able to help me figure out how to troubleshoot the issue I am having. (I have this posted in another forum also and will update here with any update I get from there)

Pulled out quad last week after the winter. Battery dead. Charged it up, and turned the key - got the starter to turn, but the bendex was not engaging. Opened up the flywheel/stator cover and it needed a cleaning. Was not in bad shape, cleaned it up, loosened up the bendex and was ready to seal this area up again, but first I wanted to test it out. When I reconnected the battery again, the whole bike was pretty much dead, headlights do not work. Nothing when I move the on/off, switch from off to run. The whole Dashboard display is dead. When I turn the key - nothing to the starter, no clicking, etc. The only thing that is running, is the fan on the quad is running consistently while the battery is connected - won't stop unless I disconnect it.

I cannot recall if the dash lit up last week when I was trying to start initially. I am thinking that it may not have - but just not sure - I don't recall it lighting up (But would the starter have turned without this?)

The battery is fully charged - over 12.6 V

Where do I start troubleshooting? I want to try to get this done myself at this point.

I appreciate any help and testing steps. I have a multimeter.

thanks very much, Vincent

 

hi everyone, hoping to bump this up to see if any once can guide through some troubleshooting step. Really want to try and get it working, or at least figure it out over the weekend. I am taking off the body to see if I can find any fuses

thanks for any help
