Hey guys so this morning i turned the key to start up my little beast and there was nothing.... not even a grunt or chortle... silence.

Does anyone know possible resaons? I wouldve thought the battery would die slowly not so sudden... something electrical maybe??

Any help is appreciated.... thanks. :D

Winter is the traditional time when batteries die....check there first.

Hi Corky,
Turn the headlights on, do they go? If no, no power(battery or terminal). If they go, have someone turn the key while you observe the headlights. If they stay bright, probably a solenoid/switch fault. If they dim, crook battery or starter problem.

Regards
Al

My red/white wire used to vibrate off the solenoid sometimes... :oops: . It would give no outward indication of this till i went to start it up again the next morning or so.
