I just bought a new 2024 Hison 550 Stryker 2 months ago. this is the second time I have had this issue.  It only has about 20 hours on it. The last time it happened we took it back to the dealer. it was a fuse.  Since we live three-hour time driving there and back. I would like to find another solution if possible.  I have tried all the fuses that seem to have anything to do with starting.  Currently checking the battery. The battery is new. it came with the unit. It is probably 6 months old.  the UTV has all power to everything electrical. lights turn signals and radio all work.  When trying the key to start . it is 100% dead. as in it doesn't even click.  There is a low whirring like the fuel pump is turning on though. The Unit was running and driving just fine.  we shut it down for the night. The next morning my wife found it in this condition.  Thanks for any Ideas or solutions???   Otherwise, it goes back to the dealer tomorrow. Just hope I didn't buy a lemon. Great little UTV when it does run.😅  anyone else ever have this Issue..?

The whirring noise is the fuel pump building up pressure. It should stop about 3 to 5 seconds after turning the key to "on" position, (but not to start). 

With all other electricals all functioning, it doesn't sound like a battery issue.   No clicking, no reaction to "start" sounds like there is not 12v coming off the key switch to the starter solenoid.

From what you described, I'd be betting that the transmission neutral safety switch being defective or out of adjustment.  Thus not allowing 12v through the key switch to the starter solenoid. 

With it in neutral (so you can roll it forward and backward and everyone out of the way) jump 12v to the starter solenoid, it should kick the starter over. Don't let it start the engine, pull a plug wire for safety.

IF that works OK, then suspect the neutral or other safety switch.  If you connect a test light to the starter solenoid's 12v tab that comes from the key switch, you can start wiggling and pulling things on the shifter mechanism to see if you get a quick flash of the test lamp.  Otherwise, get in there with a voltage/continuity tester to see where your 12v is failing to reach the starter solenoid.  

My 2021 Hisun (Coleman branded) 550 has no brake safety but yours might, its a later model .  I do know that if the shifter is even slightly out of the "N" position or if the "N" light on the dash isn't on, you will get nothing when turning the key to start, but everything else electrical will work.  Sounding familiar?

Good luck, let us know how you are coming along.

Yea. that sounds a lot like what has happened.  we were getting the fault code for the gear shift. then it went away. It is a known Hisun problem. everyone says to ignore it.  we did until this happened.   I put a meter across the battery . it is fully charged. the reading just in front of the fuse block also shows full 12+ volts. I changed about every fuse with store bought replacements. It has been years since I worked on much of anything. Do not feel comfortable doing something that might void my warranty. I figured I would check the simple stuff first. get some ideas from others.  Since it is brand new with this being the second time doing it. As much as I hate it.  I think I better get it to the dealer just in case there is something more serious going on..  Thanks for the quick response. I really appreciate it.. It gives me a better idea of what might be happening since the main electrical is powering up.

You also might consider talking to the selling dealer to push for a full replacement of your unit with a new one since it is an on going issue from new and the first dealer attempt to fix didn't fix it. 

If they resist, ask for the owner of the dealership and ask him/her how they are going to make you a happy customer.  That might make your next dealer visit the last one for a while. 

Good luck on it.

Thanks,.. got it fixed, turns out there is a fuse interconnected with the brake safety interlock.  It prevents the gearshift from being recognized.  the linkage for the shifter was adjusted and that should solve all problems..  If any one has the same issue with a non start. it might be caused by the brake interlock system fuse. a 10 amp fuse popped.  I had changed most of the fuses with the Start and Run functions. never thought there would be a connection to the brakes.  weird Chinese Engineering I guess.

I'd have the dealer repair that machine while it is under warranty. 

Fuses don't just pop on a new vehicle.

Fuses do not pop because linkage is not adjusted. 

You are experiencing an electrical problem and I can say with a high degree of certainty you will experience more blown Fuses in the very near future.

 

The machine is protecting itself from the real problem by popping the fuse. The machine is also communicating there is an electrical issue to you Boss. 

 

Have it figured out before the warranty runs out or you may experience expensive troubleshooting diagnostics later.

      I just purchased a 2023 Honda Pioneer a couple of weeks ago and had the hard roof and a front Honda Pioneer windshield installed at the shop before taking ownership. As things are drying up here in NC, the grass and dust are beginning to fly right through the back of the cab while driving. I was wondering if anyone has any good recommendations on rear windshields, dust panels, or mesh screens to help stop this?
      Thanks a lot!

      Hope I posted this in the right place. Looking for the left side shaft carrier where the rear bearings go for an 1100cc sand viper, I understand an 800 cc carrier will also work. I need the old style two bearing with the spacer in the middle, the new style with just the one wide bearing wont work. If anybody has one I'll buy it right away. my email is [email protected]

      I heard there's several off road festivals out that way. One or two post apocalyptic, the rest just rev and run. Anyone know a good one that offers camping? Any advice for out of state people like hauling, legality, and where to stay?
      Ideally me and the missus would be down for camping out and setting up shop somewhere nearby. That way we can just wake up, load up, and ride.

      All mid 2008 through 2014 Polaris RZR 800 series have a big problem with the rear differential pinion nut backing off, allowing the pinion gear to shoot into the rear differential, destroying the rear differential. This has happened with machines with as little as less than 100 miles on them! Reports indicate that there are no problems, nor warnings, until the rear differential grenades, locking the rear axles solid! This requires the machine to be lifted onto a trailer, to be transported for rear differential replacement, as it destroys the case. After failure, rear differential replacement can be quite expensive: labor alone can run from $800-$1200 and a new OEM Spicer rear diff, if you can find one, can run from $1700-$2500! So, if you own any Polaris RZR 800 series between the years of 2008-2014, I recommend that you do this repair before further use of your machine. personally, I have grounded my machine until it can be done. Please check the online post for your own awareness.

      I am about 6 months in to owning my 520. It is used mainly to run back and forth to our barn and shop. Occasionally, I run it up and down a few fairly steep hills on the property. One day, as I was going up one of the hills, the motor started sputtering and a tremendous amount of smoke was coming out of the exhaust. I was near the top and it made it (sputtering) up. Once back on the flat, I made it home. I loaded it on the trailer and took it back to the dealer. They said they checked everything out and found no issues. Over the next month or so, I only had occasion to go up hills once or twice with no issue. Then one day, again as I was going up a hill, the engine sputtered, giant plume of white smoke and then the engine died. 30 seconds later, started up and made it to the top. Repeated the route (down and up) and the same thing happened again. Called the dealer and their head of service said he would come out and wanted to see it first hand. He came out a few days later and repeated the route several time and it never happened with him in it. I had videoed the whole thing on one of the times it happened to me, but since it happens intermittently, could not produce it when he was here. I told him that I had checked the temperature, the oil level and the antifreeze level after each occurrence and they were normal. I asked him to call Kubota and ask what the possibilities were and that I am not fond of it dying on the hill and blowing the smoke and I didn't want to wait until something catastrophic happened to figure it out. When I followed up, they had no answers (which doesn't exactly please me). Any ideas? The attached photo was the start of the smoking. Didn't know how to upload the video of the whole thing, but it fogged the whole area.
