Haveing trouble with it not starting by the start button changed siloniod changed some wireing by putting connectors on them they didn't look caroded it does nothing when I press the button but it will start by jumping the siloniod over it has a tither swich on it could that be the problem ???

In most cases if it starts by jumping the solenoid the solenoid is bad. Unless there is some unknown wiring issues. The teather if hooked up right should just kill spark. Not make it not turn over when hitting the start button.

My 2003 Honda trx400ex will start with the siloniod crossed but it won't start with the start button I changed fuses changed connects brand new both and cleaned the battery terminals any help would be great please

Does the neutral light come on? There is a fuse back by the battery, those tend to blow. If the light does not come on it will not start.

Also your button could be worn out. Take the two wires and touch them together to see if it is the switch gone bad.

I checked the fuses they are good with the chluch in even if the nutral light don't come on it should still start if I'm not mistakin ? The siloniod is brand new so that's not a factor I looked at some wiring diagrams and hooked up one that I thought and it showed needed to be hooked up and it still won't start with the button plus the starter switch is brand new

Solenoid is new oem honda part? 99% of the aftermarket ones are bad right out of the box. I have 3 on my work bench holding down papers. All they are good for.

 

[Terryf5274]

Yes it is and I tested it so I know it's good

Is the clutch perch still the oem one? If not then your clutch switch had to be by-passed and the clutch in start without the green light dont happen anymore. If its aftermarket the only way it will start is with the green light on if they wired it the safe way. If its wired the unsafe way it will legit start in gear which is sketchy! If your not getting a green light either the light bulb is out or the neutral safety switch is bad or the wire to it is broken. Should be a single green wire going down the shifter side(left side) of the engine. Should be right down by where the shifter attatches to the gear linkage.

Ya that is the original. I'm going to try a new nutral safety. Can the teather switch be bypassed ? I know on older stuff you can
