Hey Guys,
Did a little riding this past weekend, stalled My 01 Warrior out a couple times. When I push the start buttin the Solenoid Clicks rapidly, My battery connections are tight, When I jump it from my Jepp battery,it starts right up. The battery is older, I charged it overnight but nothing. Would a worn out battery make the clicking noise?

 

If the terminals on the battery and cables are both clean and shiny and corrosion-free in the contact area, and jump starting it from another vehicle is the only way it will start, it sounds like you have a bad battery. You may be able to take the battery to an auto parts store and have them load test it if you want to be sure.

 

Agree with Recon99 here. Sounds to me like it's got a bad battery.

 

Hatebreed,


I was having the same problem w/ my 400ex. I first started experiencing it after riding in the snow (selenoid was clicking). I would bang on it or just lift it up a bit and hit the starter and it would be fine. I took all of the connections off of the selenoid and cleaned them up real good w/ some WD-40 and also bought a new battery and cleaned all of the connecting terminals the same way and have not had a problem yet. I agree w/ everyone else that the problem is in your battery. I would replace and also clean up the terminals on the selenoid as well. Hope you get it figured out.

 

Thanks for Your gep Guys...ill get a battery this weekend!

 

you might want to try a new solenoid, it dont sound like the battery is bad. raptor solenoids do about the exact same thing when they go bad.

 

Is that the Original Battery? Lasted 6 years? Thats pretty good!

 

I had the problem twice on my Warrior. Once it was the solenoid and once it was the battery. You can CAREFULLY jump the contacts of the solenoid with a screwdriver to find out if the solenoid is bad.

 

My factory batter lasted 6 yrs which really impressed me too but when the clicking started, I decided to go ahead and get a new one and haven't had any problems w/ any clicking noises since.

 

What makes you think that the battery isn't bad? If it only starts when it's jump started from another vehicle, what would lead you to believe it's the solenoid?
