Why are there no lights on my bike?
Now when I turn the key there are no lights or anything. I have checked main fuse which is fine, I hope I have blown the battery and nothing else. Question is what are the other possibilities that could be the result of this? Click to expand… Hook jumper leads up to the car battery again and see if you get lights.
What does it mean when your bike wont start?
Because when it happened there was no smell or sound of a fried wire as such. Basically the bike had been stood for a while so the battery had no charge anyway. Then i wire up the leads (dont turn the car off) keep them connected and try to start it and then I think everything just stopped working.
What to do when your car won’t start?
Of course it will run after it is started, the current is provided by the alternator. If the battery has caps on it, remove them and check the cells to see if they are properly filled with distilled water. Then run your trickle charger on it for a few hours. If it is a sealed battery, replace it. Was this answer helpful?
What does no start no crank no click mean?
If you have a late model GM vehicle and turn the key only to hear nothing, you’ll most likely think you have a dead battery—and you may. But a no start, no crank, no click condition can be far more involved than that. In the old days, power flowed through the ignition switch and down to the starter solenoid. Not anymore.
Why does my car not start when the lights are on?
if the lights are on and remain on when trying to crank but the problem is that the starter does not even attempt to engage then this points to a problem with either the ignition switch or the exciter cable, this is the narrow gauge cable attached to the starter which, when made live, engages the solenoid to begin the cranking process.
Why does my car not start at 9 / 10?
This is because 9/10 a no start condition will be because of a bad battery, bad connections, or user error in diagnosing those both. I have started many friends cars that wouldn’t crank, or crank strongly, simply because I saw the battery terminals were loose.
What did I do to make my car not start?
Background: Pulled the thermostat to replace it a week an a half ago including disconnecting the battery terminal on the back of the alternator, and leaving the battery unhooked. Finished installing the thermostat and hooked up everything.
Why does my electric bike not start up?
When you press the start button, you should get battery voltage at the wire to the starter relay, probably yellow with green stripe. If you get no voltage, the various safeties, or an intermittent would be a likely problem. How old is this bike? Other issues due to age could be present, if it is old enough.

What happens when the lights go on but no cranking?
The lights go on, but the electric start does nothing – no cranking. Please read the history below to understand more because I’ve had had several prior electrical issues. 1. A 1.5V battery. I left my bike for about 5 days a week ago. I turned the key ignition on and found the battery to be near dead.

What should I do if my motorcycle battery wont start?
If you don’t see these symptoms or are otherwise unsure what to look for, the first step is ensuring that the battery is operational and providing the maximum voltage. To confirm your battery is still good, you should visually inspect it, check the voltage, and load test the battery. A visual battery inspection should involve:
What to do if your Rad bike won’t turn on?
Inspect the battery and mounting tray terminal contacts. If you notice any dirt, damage, or moisture, contact Rad Power Bikes Product Support. If the contacts look normal, reinstall the battery and use the key to turn on the battery.
What should I do if my bike wont start?
Charge the battery or replace it if it’s dead. Am easy way to test your battery is by checking the voltage-drop with a multimeter as you try starting the bike. If your fully charged battery drops below 11,5 volts under load (while you crank the starter), it needs to be replaced.
Why does my Harley Davidson bike not start?
When I turn on the bike and put it in the run position, the fuel pump kicks on, but when I push the start switch the bike doesn’t even try to turn over. The battery is fully charged and the fuel pump turns on when I push the switch, but nothing else happens.
Why does my Bike Stop with no power?
The main fuse has probably blown and maybe others. Is is it the fuses, you need to find out whats blowing them. bad earth, short etc. Check all connections and especially earth points. Water and moisture in couplings too. Check the battey next..Its NOT the battery that runs the bike or the lights etc, its the generator.
What should I do if my motorcycle won’t start?
How to fix it: There is only one fuse that can affect the starting of a motorcycle. Every motorcycle usually has a main fuse which is between 30 to 50 amps (occasionally some bikes will have 20 amps). It is usually located off of the positive battery wire.
Why does my motorcycle make no noise when I turn it on?
Depending on how low your battery is, if there is some voltage left you may be able to turn the key as well as turn on your blinker, but turning it over is slow and sluggish. If your battery is completely dead, you motorcycle will not make any noise at all when you try to start it.
What happens when a motorcycle battery is not used?
How a motorcycle battery dies: If a motorcycle battery is not used and just sits, it will lose it’s capacity to power your motorcycle. There is also a phenomenon called parasitic drain.
Why do the lights on my bike not work?
However, the electric start still doesn’t work. I also noticed that several times (but not all the time), when I was pressing buttons like the electric start or the high beam, my bike would die again and I would have to wiggle the ignition unit again to get lights. I also tried run-starting it, but no luck.
What’s the problem with my bike not starting?
Bike won’t start, battery is fine I just joined the sight because I really need some help. I am a first time owner and have a 2005 Suzuki GSX600F Katana with 12,000 miles. It has been good to me besides recently. I started it up a few days ago, went to put it in first gear from neutral and it shut off. It would not start up there after.

How can I tell if my car battery is not working?
Check the terminals on the battery for corrosion and tightness. A good way to check how tight they are is to try and wiggle them with your hand if you can wiggle them they are not tight enough. Tighten them and start over. Make sure the battery is installed correctly, and there isn’t a build up of corrosion on the terminals.
Why do my house batteries not charge when I run the engine?
They will read very low if no charging voltage is present. The house batteries (as well as chassis batteries) should charge when the engine is running, if not then you should find a fuse in a positive 12 volt feed between them and the alternator.
What’s the voltage of a car battery with no power?
ASSUME YOU MEAN WITH NO SHORE POWER AND ENGINE OFF– THAT VOLTAGE IS OK– ABOUT A 40% DISCHARGED BATTERY. The Chassis battery running is 14.35. VERY GOOD– THAT IS WHERE IT SHOULD BE.

Why is there no power in my car?
No electrical power even with a new battery that I bought because of the problem. I checked the new battery and it has a strong spark, but not even the lights work…NOTHING WORKS. Is there a main fuse or something because no matter what I do I can’t get anything to work. I even jumped the 2 large connectors on the solenoid and nothing.
