I have a 2001 kodiak I just picked up. Replaced the solenoid and still won’t start, unless I jump it at solenoid. there is a relay beside solenoid that clicks when I turn the kill switch on/off. But when I turn key on and press the start button nothing happens except oil/temp light comes on when start button is pushed. Any ideas?

 

Is the solenoid the type with 2 30amp fuses built into it? If so, start by checking those.

 

yes it is, it did it with the old one and when I put brand new solenoid it still does the same thing. Or should a say nothing

 

Note that one binding post has what looks like a brass washer attached, this side should go to battery, there is a little B cast into the plastic case next to it, and M for motor at the other binding post.
