What makes a car stop running when the ignition switch is turned off?
A diode only allows the flow of current in one direction. The diode will prevent current from going back to the ignition switch and this will prevent a “run on” condition when the ignition switch is turned off. Use a Radio Shack #1N4001 diode or an equivalent value

How does the solenoid work on an ATV?
The solenoid works as a switch that sends a high current to your starter when you push the start button or turn the key. For it to work, you need to make sure it is getting power from the battery. The solenoid should make an audible “clicking” sound each time you hit the starter.
