Hi @struthers unplug the ign. switch and put jumpers on the harness side of the connector Red to Pink and Red to Black 

[struthers 4]

@Melatv okay jumpers as in just spare wires or what? And plug it into the battery?

[Melatv 797]

Don't do nothing with the battery -- just unplug the key switch  and put jumpers in place -- R to P and R to BL

[struthers 4]

@Melatv okay where am I putting these jumper wires when I connect them in

[struthers 4]

@Melatv nevermind I see what your saying to do my apologies, what will this do when i do this?

[struthers 4]

@Melatv okay I have the jumped now what?

[Melatv 797]

Try starting the ATV

[struthers 4]

@Melatv I've lost all power to the atv nothing shows to be on when key is on and cant turn it over from start button either.

[Melatv 797]

Check the fuse again -- don't pull the fuse out -- put the black meter lead on neg. of battery -- check the fuses by touching the red meter lead on the little gray dot on top of the fuses

[struthers 4]

@Melatv okay checked the 10 amp ign fuse just like you said to and I'm not getting anything there with key on or off

[Melatv 797]

You have to have the key switch unplugged and jumpers in place on the connector side going to harness on the bike

[struthers 4]

@Melatv yes that's the way I have it switch is unplugged and jumpers are installed and I'm getting nothing at that ign fuse.

[Melatv 797]

Do you have 12 DC on the top of the 30 amp main fuse?

[struthers 4]

@Melatv yes on both of the 30amps I have over 12 volts

[Melatv 797]

It looks like jumpers you put on are not making contact 

[struthers 4]

@Melatv okay I'll double check, I back probed the connector, its unplugged but i just used back probes because its what i had

[Melatv 797]

Those jumpers are on the connector side with the 2 Red wires - Pink & Black -- Check to see if have 12 vdc on red wire & black wire to ground of connector

[struthers 4]

@Melatv okay I actually found some wire and made jumpers I'm getting power on now light come screen comes on, but it won't turn over from the start button. I am getting 11.44 volts now out of ignition fuse location, i got about 12 volts at the battery.

[Melatv 797]

does the starter turn the engine over?

[Melatv 797]

I am out of here for the night -- I will see if I can find time tomorrow 

[struthers 4]

@Melatv okay now it will work at the start button I tightened my connectors, it turns over at the start button, just still no spark.

I'm going to hope Mel comes back today, but he's bypassing your ignition key switch to see if you have a problem in the switch itself.

Back home-- @struthers lets start with ign. coil -- remove the Bl/Y wire from the ign. coil -- put your meter on the lowest ohm scale and check the ohms of the primary side of the ign. coil -- should read around 0.1 - 2 ohms

 

Also check ohms on the Green wire to ground --should read zero

Edited August 16 by Melatv

[struthers 4]

@Melatv okay I'm getting 0.2 ohms

[struthers 4]

@Melatv from the green wire to the negative battery post I get .3 ohms
