Why does my Honda ATV start all by itself?
But, when attempting to put a brand new battery in today, as soon as I try to attach the 2nd battery cable, the machine tries to start all by itself, just with touching the battery cable to the battery terminal. Kinda seems like the thumbswitch is being held in. Swapped in the starter solenoid from my other 300, same thing.
Why was there no charge on my Honda?
The car was towed to the dealer. They say they found that the starter connector was disconnected: apparently, when they replaced the starter last spring, the electrical connector to the starter was not plugged in properly & it came out, so they reconnected it & checked over the car & apologized for the inconvenience. no charge — that’s a first.
Why is my Honda Civic not turning over?
It is the most common issue causing Civics to not turn over. If your battery is not fully powered, it will still show lights on your dash, but not have enough power to get your starter working properly. An easy way you can quickly test your battery is to turn on your headlights, and take a look at them.
Where are the battery cables on a Honda ATV?
Click to expand… welcome to the forums. your battery cables are not hooked up right from battery to starter solenoid, then from starter solenoid to starter. as well as the ground cable. there is a sticky in the repair section with some art drawings ( lol )..of me showing the hook up.
