2000 arctic cat 300 4x4, has no power when keys on

[slm2hh]

my quad wont start no power when the key is on, no lights no neutral light. it was running fine put it in reverse and it died. and nothing..

battery is good

starter and solenoid are good...

checked the fuses they are good (range fro 10 to 15 Amp).

there is a big one that did not test or checked but it is expensive to replace, but not sure what it does anyways

any ideas ?

Thanks

The big fuse is probably a 30 amp main fuse. pull it out and you should be able to visually see if its blown. An ohm meter will verify that.

thanks Mike,

it is a four prong starter relay (not actually a fuse), replaced it, but nothing.

if a directly wire the relay to the battery, it works. no problem. the only thing is, it drains the battery

Well if jumping out the starter relay does make it crank, then I would check for voltage on its input pin when you press the starter button. You could have a bad button or broken wire.

trace your hot wire from the battery to the key switch, if its hot there check that it puts power across the key switch when you turn it on, I would suspect a broken wire or bad key switch
