⇒Check the In-Line Fuses in front of the Battery (Figure 4 on page 14).

⇒Check the wire connections, especially the ground connection. This is the large black wire leading from the Battery, and connected to the Engine.

⇒Check the wire connections to the Solenoid. To avoid sparks, first disconnect the black Battery ground wire. Check to be sure that all of the connections are clean and tight. Reconnect the Battery ground wire.

⇒Check the ground connection on the Solenoid where it bolts to the Frame. Using a Wrench or Socket, tighten the Bolts to ensure a good connection to the Frame.

⇒The Battery may not be charged. Check the voltage yourself or at a service station. If it is low, charge it with a 12-volt, 1 to 2 Amp trickle charger.
