Wife said UTV stopped running and cannot restart. I checked the battery, it was good. I checked the fuse box, no blown fuses. Whe I tried to start, the starter had a thump noise one time, and the starter relay wires were hot. I replaced the relay, nothing. I then replaced the starter and still the same symptoms. It won't start and relay wires hot.  Any ideas what to check next- perhaps ground strap of which I have no idea where it would be, or perhaps a new fuse box with new relays?

Based on those symptoms I would remove and bench test the starter next. It sounds like there may be an internal short.

Remove it and clamp it to the workbench. Connect a battery with jumper cables to the ground, and tap the terminal briefly with the positive cable and see if it spins like it should. My guess would be it doesn't.

From the text you wrote, it seems that it stopped running while your wife was operating it. At that point, she tried to re-start it without success. Does it turn over? If it does, look to the ignition, if not; does the starter get voltage while trying it? If it does and the engine won't turn over the engine might be siezed. If it doesn't look to the relay. Is there voltage going to the relay but not going through during start up, then it's a relay. Your volt meter is always your best friend.

If it were my machine, (MSU 800) I'd take the screw cap off the end of the magneto, using the correct size Allen wrench make sure the engine isn't stuck, "froze". Can't say for sure on that 500 if that's how to check it. I'm sure there are some here that can tell you. Aefron88 for one.

      Hi, my 2010 Hisun will crannk but comes to a stop and only clicks.  It has new battery and solinoid. Battery connections all seem good. Any ideas what the problem is?

      Riding out today it acted like it ran out of gas,  stalled and died and would not start.   Towed back to house,  New  plug added this past month,  plenty of oil, getting plenty of gas, battery cranks good.   Trys to kick in and starts but doesnt.   Two days prior while sitting at a idle it died.  Added gas and it started did my ranch chores with it.  But just now it stalled out cranks but will not start.   Tried to find if fault codes came up on the clock like manual says but not sure I am doing that right.  Any and all help apprecated.  Thank you

      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..?
