d.carver87 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Have been having issues for a week or so with it not starting.. When i turn i turn the key it just clicks but every time i turn it rapidly a few times it starts. Now i turn it over and it doesnt even click.. All lights and accesories work fuses and relays are good and had the starter tested its good.. Any ideas?? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remus92 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Have you tested your battery? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jyeager Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 You say the starter is good, how have you verified this? This is the obvious symptom of a failed/failing solenoid. However, if you have somehow had your starter solenoid verified as good, then check for a loose battery cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 +1 for checking battery cables. If the battery's good, cables are good, and the starter and solenoid are good, my next suspect would be the contacts in the ignition switch. I don't know if this is as easy on the R50 as it is on the WD21 but I'd pull the clamshell and see if there's an easy way to jumper the start wire to + on the switch. If that starts it no problem, start looking for an ignition switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I brought it into a shop and had them hook it up to their testing machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slartibartfast Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 It's what you stick the key in to start it, so yeah, behind the wheel in the clamshell there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
