Hi guys........yeaterday I took a ride. All of a sudden everything died. I turned the key on and nothing. My horn and gps stilled worked because they are connected directly to the battery. After a few minutes I tried the key again and the fan came on low. I tried to start it and it turned once, kinda like a dead battery. I waited a couple of minutes and turned the key on and the fan and gauges came alive. It started like normal. I ran about an 1/8 mile and everything quit again. This time it would not start.

I checked the fuses in the fuse box and all look good. I turned the key on and wiggled the wires under the dash. Nothing. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Bruce

Not yet. I ordered a holder and 5 fuses from ebay and I should have them Friday. Casey at JMC said to check the main ground and make sure it's clean and tight. Also mentioned that the fan pulls a lot of amps and it might be a good idea to tie in a heavier wire to the ground wire and attach it to the frame back close to the fan somewhere.

      2016 Dominator 1000, battery red light, and jurky power steering.
      By qajeff
      Ok, battery was original, replaced it yesterday with a new one, fully charged ant went for a spin, noticed the red battery picture on the dash screen, also after 10 min drive, the power steering was jerky, like it was cutting out. I am thinking the unit is no charging when the unit is driving, should not have a light with a fully charged battery out of the box. Any suggestions, on what to replace ??

      2018 Hisun Strike 1000 Losing spark after startup
      By Nickie Watts
      I have a Hisun Strike 1000 I have been trying to get going, it has only 39 hours on it, so I can only assume it has been sitting for a long time.
       
      The issue is it is losing spark to both coils after 20-30 seconds of running, doesn't matter if it's WOT or Idle, it will shut down.  What sends signal to the coils to fire? It has a crank sensor, I was thinking a CDI box, but I have not found one of those on the machine.
      The rear end was busted on it when I got it, So I ordered a new one and installed it only to run into this problem. I can only imagine the problem has happened over it sitting so long and not being driven.
       
      I originally thought it was a fuel problem, so I checked the injectors, throttle body, o2 sensors. Discovered the heating element in one of the o2 sensors was bad, so ordered both and also replaced both injectors just to be sure, then discovered it is only losing spark.

      08 kawasaki Mule 600 Not Charging Battery
      By dalem
      Earlier this year my battery was weak and I had to boost my mule to start it then I decided to remove the battery to check the fluid level which was very low, I set the levels and recharged the battery a few months later it did the same thing, so I had to boost it again then checked the voltage running was getting around 16 vdc ( which is too high) and fluid level was very low again and wouldn't hold a charge. Note: The battery was maybe 1-1/2 years old. Then I replaced the battery and checked the voltage running nothing changed I was only reading battery voltage it wouldn't increase with increased engine speed. I changed the voltage regulator with an aftermarket  one, same thing not charging. I checked the alternator per the service manual which states .3 ohms or less it checks at .2 ohms and not shorted to ground. With the engine running I disconnected the alternator and it had around 22 vac idling and around 60 vac revving the engine, so I figured the regulator was bad so I replaced it with another new one (aftermarket) from a different company, again not charging only reading  battery voltage. I did put the original voltage regulator on nothing changed still not charging. Using the manual wiring diagram did continuity checks going to the voltage regulator everything checks out OK. Now what am I missing?

      Hisun Axis 500 purchased from Lowes battery drain
      By Terry B
      We purchased this UTV less than 60 days ago and now I am having issues with drained battery. Used UTV for about an hour then stopped and when I went to start back up my battery was to low to start it. Jumped it and it started right up and ran fine back home. Tested charging and it’s not charging while running. Can it be anything other than the stater??? Can I look for something that I can fix Quik or does it have to go to the authorized service center to stay under warranty? It will take some time to get it in and out of service
