I have an "02 Polaris 400 Sportsman that wont start. It clicks at the solenoid when you turn the key. It will start manually. After plowing with it for a while the lights go dim when you try to operate the winch and the winch operates slowly if at all. I tried jump starting and when hooked up to another the battery the winch seemed to work fine. Not sure if its the battery or sloenoid

check your key remote if it is not programmed the alarm will go into the kill switch mode and will not allow you to start your engine Having the same trouble with one of my keys I haven't found a way to reprogram it without calling dealer and paying a chunk.

If you're not hearing a click from the starter check for a starter relay. May be burned out! DO you hear the fuel pump kick in when you turn the key on? If not something might have triggered your security system and locked you out!

i had a 2003 ctc that did the same thing, it wouldn't start or would make a clicking sound and about 1 mth after the problem started aND mechanics could not find a problem my car caught on fire and burned completely from something under the right side of the hood. i had just parked the car and got out, it happened really fast. the fire chief said the cause was unknown????

now i have a 2004 cts and i'm having the same problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! has anyone else had this happen???? please be cautious if your cts is doing this, during the fire my doors locked and had to be pried into by fire chief.

If you're hearing a click at the starter, then a fuse is most likely not the cause of your problem. If this is the case, you may be looking at a starter replacement or perhaps a starter rebuild at your local auto electric shop. Another thing you may want to check is while the engine is in "crank mode" (you'll need someone in the car turning the key of course), check voltage at the B+ (red battery cable) at the starter. If you see it rise to 12+ Volts at crank, the starter needs to be replaced. If not, check voltage again in "crank mode" at the terminal going to the starter solenoid. It will be a smaller-gauge wire. If you see voltage here as well, it just again proved out the starter to be at fault. If there is no voltage there at the solenoid, consider checking and/or replacing the starter relay.

I hope this helps! :)

I had the same problem with my 94 jetta, I would also have the alarm turn on as I connected the battery, if you lower the fuse box being careful not to disconnect anything, there is a box to the upper driver-side aria(that is if you are laying on your back looking up under the dash) this is the alarm control unit, there should be a white label on the wires indicating so (think it says alarm in German) theres a 6 pin(wire) connector and a 10 pin. unplug both connectors and look at the 6 pin connector. There is numbers where the wires are located on the connector, if you take a piece of wire and "bridge" wires 5 and 6 (The largest wires on the connector, red/red w/black stripe) your starter should work, any problem with the alarm system can cause the starter to be disabled. after bridging the wires or simply connecting them do not plug anything back into the alarm box, after this you standard vehicle alarm will be disabled permanently, but you will be able to start your car. If this dose not fix the problem you may have a defective starter, hope this helps.
