Default Bad Warrior Solenoid?

Just recently when I came back from doing a little riding in my back woods, when I parked it and put it in neutral, the neutral light didn't work (yes it was neutral, I pulled it to make sure). So I just thought maybe the light was blown er sumtin. Later in the week I went to start it and and it won't start, not even a clicking noise in the solenoid. Though the solenoid does click when I turn the key in the ignition on and off. I checked all the connections and wires as best as I could with my friend. The battery is fine, I checked that, and my lights work!
I don't know what to do now to find out what it is. Please help...

Im not sure if a warrior has this, but it could be a neutral safety switch. Some bikes have them, it dosn't let the bike start in any gear besides neutral. Thats what should control the light and your starting. Hope this helps.

I had a clicking sound and no lights the same as you described on my kodiak and i found out that the connections to my batterie were a little lose and i really tightened them down and my kodiak started up and worked great. Dont know if its the same thing, but this has happened to me twise now. Just an idea.

there are two things you could check 1 is your CDI and the other is the fuse in the little black rubber case. the same thing happened with my warrior but me it was that little fuse.

change the fuse under the left rear fender, its in a little black rubber case connected to the frame, there should be an extra fuse with it.
