Yamaha Drive wont start-help needed
My 2007 gas Drive wont budge an inch. When placing the cart in reverse, I get the audible reverse tone, but nothing else. When I turn on the key, I have no lights (and no dash light indicator) and the starter does not even click. I am thinking it has to be something in the ignition switch. This is the first problem I have had with it in four years.
I almost forgot. I already tried installing a new battery. Any ideas? |

Re: Yamaha Drive wont start-help needed

Re: Yamaha Drive wont start-help needed
Forum members come through again! The harness that plugs into the ignition switch was partially melted (probably those pesky 100w head light bulbs). I bypassed the damaged harness and viola! Im back in business. Thanks again

Re: Yamaha Drive wont start-help needed
Good that you got it going again!! Just out of curiosity, do you have those lights fused ?? Melted insulation is not a good thing
 and you may have had a fault somewhere in the wiring to cause that melted insulation. Might be worth it to check it out. - RAYLast edited by bigstik40; 09-18-2012 at 08:06 AM.. Reason: clarified |

Re: Yamaha Drive wont start-help needed
Thanks Ray
but the factory light kit is fused. However, my led eyebrow lights are not, but surely they dont draw enough to melt a harness. Im just glad I am rolling again. |
