Rhino dead

Hey guys I was in the middle of cutting a doughnut today when the rhino suddenly just dies dead stick. It would not restart and when i turn the key the battery only makes one click then all my gear indicator lights flash and thats it. Ive had it on the charger but that did nothing. I did get it to just turn over once but then it went back to the same thing. Is my battery shot or is there something im missing here? I checked all the fuses. If so anybody know where to pick a replacement up at without having to ship one? Thanks

didnt somebody have a wire disonnect somewhere near the fuel filter on theirs back in the spring ?

Something came loose. Not sure what but I would start checking all plugs.

Does it jump start?

Mine died like that once and the plug wire had popped off.

Check the cables at the battery,on the starter and the ground wire to the engine.

I put the 50 amp charge to it and still nothing not even a click now. Spark plug isint loose and all my connections seem to be intact. I took my dyna CDI off and put the stock one back on it to see if that was it, still nothing so but the DYNA back in but now when i turn the key both my neutral and reverse light are on at the same time....

Check and see if the battery posts have any corrosion on them, we had a guy that had corrosion on the posts and it wouldnt do anything.
Also check the spark plug and see if it is corroded or has lots of black on it.

battery cables are fine no corrosion everything else works just no starting. Now it wont even click when i turn the key just the dash lights up and turn the key and no change. Even if the plug was bad it would still atleast try to turn?

I would check your ignition coil.....make sure everything is connected properly.....and if it is, i would pull it all apart and put dilectic(spelling) grease in all the electrical connections.

Try disconnecting the battery. Jump start to cables no battery.

Yeah, you are right. It did try to fire when the plug wire popped off. I should have read the post a little better. Hope you get it figured out. Sucks to have a machine that won't start.

MB, try turning the key on and turning your headlights on and see if they come on.

Lights on everything works just no attempt to start. Unhooked the battery ran the lines straight to a 50 amp source and same thing. Figured out why the reverse light was on, one of the cdi plugs was not seated all the way. im gonna try bypassing the solenoid next like fast said.

So it won't even try to fire????

negative no click no nothing just silence.

Be sure to check the plugs to your ignition switch.

Take starter off and see if you can turn the armature by hand.

Would the starter cause it to stop running???

might be starter......might be ign coil....could go on and on....

Jumping the solenoid bypasses both switch and solenoid itsself.... if its a cdi,coil or something like that it would turn over but not start...

Its cold and getting late i guess ill start to disassemble the starter tomorrow. Yeah it stopped me dead in my tracks i went from full throttle to dead in the water no sputter no wind down just dead. Bypassed the solenoid and got nothin. All my connectors are together. Im stumped!

Also try turning the motor by hand.
