Need some help figuring out ignition problem

Spangler92 · 2023-03-09

So I just purchased an 07 Artic cat 700, I’m pretty knowledgeable about what does what but I’m stumped as to when I have a new battery. I go to turn key to on and I get zero response from fuel pump or tack cluster on handle bars. But when I turn key one more position I can now turn on lights but get nothing as far as ignition goes, I have checked all fuses relays are good. Just what else is there to check. I made sure wires were tight on starter as well.

The key switch itself is most likely the problem.

A tester only shows voltage. It could be 2 volts. Doing your own work, a multimeter is a must. You can buy a cheap one for $20
