Re: Yamaha rhino starting problems

Have an '07 rhino and am having problems starting it.  When turning the ignition I get nothing, but if I keep turning, it will suddenly start.  Battery is good.  I replaced the starter relay, but nothing.  It will start by jumping from the + on the battery to the negative on the starter relay.   Has anyone had this problem?  any help would be apprciated.  Thanks

Re: Yamaha rhino starting problems

Could it be possible water has got in the ignition switch and froze? It could be miles on the switch too.

Just a thought!

If anyone gives a shit, it was the Neutral Safety Switch.  About $60 not including labor at the dealer.

Absolutely! Not to sound condescending, but did you try starting with your foot on the brake pedal? I believe it by-passes the safety if brake applied, but maybe it is integrated in the circuit. 
$60? Holy sh__! What was the labor?

Re: Yamaha rhino starting problems

Its supposed to by-pass the safety but they said the curcuit was so bad that only sometimes it would??  I haven't got the bill yet but they quoted me the switch at $57 + an o-ring for $3.  Apparently they put in a different switch after '07 to correct problems like this.?
