Moved topic to Polaris forum.

It sounds to me like you have a wire that is not connected somewhere. You should start tracing the wiring from the battery.

[79davecampbell]

I have traced and have power all the way to ignition jumped the switch and power goes to the switch on the left handlebar lights kill switch etc. Quite diff to follow that way

[Ajmboy]

If you got that far with power, maybe that switch is no good. Try just spraying water around that area to see if you get the results you had before.

Can you jump the solenoid and it start?

[Mike Iadonixi]

Yes it would

[BuggyMasters]

Either on the positive battery terminal itself or the side of the solenoid that the battery terminal goes to, there will be a red wire (standard sized wire vs big battery cable size). That wire will lead to a fuse. I suspect that fuse is popped. To the original poster, could be the same for you. Just jumping to the ignition switch doesn’t guarantee that you provided power to the start push button. Also, could be a safety switch as in won’t start in gear without the brake handle squeezed kinda thing. Start with locating and checking the main fuse.

I had this EXACT problem with a trailboss. After going crazy and replacing the ignition switch, I found the Run/Off red switch on the left side of the handlebar to be dirty. After cleaninig.. Never happened again... Thought I would share
