Why is my Kill Switch on my ATV not working?

Another possible issue with the kill switch is internal corrosion due to water getting inside. Dirty water in reaction with air will cause green oxide to form on the switch’s metal components. Suck corrosion will prevent a proper connection.

What happens when the Kill Switch is in the ” stop ” position?

When the kill switch is in the “stop” position, it cuts all electric power to most systems on the ATV. Many don’t use their kill switch that often and usually leave it in the “run” position. Therefore we tend to forget to check the kill switch’s position when we are facing issues such as loss of power.

Can a bad fuel pump shut off switch cause no start?

A no start condition can also be caused by a wide variety of other issues, so having the vehicle diagnosed is highly recommended. While many fuel pump shut off switches will usually last the life of the vehicle, they can sometimes fail and cause problems with the drivability of the vehicle.

What causes an ignition switch to go bad?

Ignition switches are known to go bad due to corrosion and from getting packed with dirt and debris. Inspect the wires where they connect to the back of the ignition switch. Any sign of corrosion is an indication of internal corrosion as well. Blown fuses are another sign of a possible short inside the switch.

What to do if your killer kill switch is not working?

Change spark plug to a new one, as mentioned above. Then if that doesn’t fix it we need to isolate the issue. Go back to factory sensitivity. One green flash at startup. Flip down the #2 dip switch to turn off glitch kill. Turn on tx and rx, start engine, run car. Then report back with your results.
