My battery on my Kingquad was low, but not dead, so I hooked it up to my 2A charger. The problem is that I left the key turned on. After a couple of hours, I came back to check on it. I disconnected the charger, and tried to start the quad. Nothing happened. The display did not come on, nor did any indicator lights. After a few seconds, the display came on, but it had a "chec" message displayed near the odometer spot. And something was clicking under the seat. It is what ever the electrical component is right next to the fuse box. When I depressed the brake, to start, the display went black again.

I check all the fuse, and they looked good. Also, the battery is fully charged. I think maybe I burned up the voltage regulator. Is there a way to display a diagnostic code? Any other ideas?

Not familiar with the quad but check to see if you have any fusible links of any kind, dirty grounds etc. start with the easiest. you might also have a burnt up battery. A battery might show 12v but wont have the amperage to start/power up the quad. If you have a known good battery try that or another atv you can check that battery with, that will help eliminate changing parts and wasting $$.

Thanks for the advice. It was a burnt battery. Apparently there was enough of a charge to look like 12 v, but as soon as I depressed the brake to start the quad, the rear light dragged it down to dead. New battery, and everything is good.

Yeah, its a 2008. It was a relay of some sort clicking. What made it weird is that I had accidentally left it on the charger with the ignition on. When I discovered my error a few hours later, it seemed like the battery should be happy, and something else causing the problem. A new battery is easy to replace, so I consider myself lucky.

      I am unable to find a wiring diagram for this UTV.  When I turn the switch to on, the contractor does not engage.  The Brake pressure switch and the parking brake switches work correctly. What else should I be looking for?  All of the diagrams I have found are for newer models and the wire color coding is different.
       
      Thanks

      Just getting into this issue really. Been replacing solenoids but now I'd like to track down the problem. This time I'm not getting neutral/reverse lights or start button. Was on a creek ride when it started doing this recently. It cranks by arcing the solenoid and gives me no light or start button but if I crank with the pull cord....the neutral light and the button work. Turn it off and try to crank with the key and nothing. I'm looking into the safety switch issue tomorrow and re charging the battery. Just figured this was odd enough of a problem that you guys might be familiar. Thanks

      Hey guys, so I've been messing with my quad, and between all the starts, the battery is dead. Is there a certain way to charge these? Can I just throw a trickle charger on it and call it a day? can i also jump it like a normal car with a battery pack or is that to much voltage

      2005 Suzuki King Quad Battery Question
      By LMI
      Hi all.  New to the forum & quads.  Seems like a great place full of info.
      I just recently picked up a 2005 Suzuki KingQuad LTA700.  I need a battery.  I've been reading up on conventional vs AGM types.  I have a Royal Distributing and Canadian Tire.  RD has 2 types avail for my year/Model a battery YTX16-BS CRANK $75, and BATTERY YTX20CH-BS YUASA $140.  Neither of these is the type from the manual FTZ16-BS.
      from what I can tell... I think the only difference is the capacity with the $75 unit rated at 14 AH/10HR and the $140 unit rated at 18 AH/10HR ... which is the rating in the manual for the FTZ16-BS.  How much does this make a difference for nearly x2 the cost?
      And about the models/type numbers.... what is important to know ... they all end in "-BS" but are the other details relevant or just manufacturer naming?
