Where green wire on starter goes on 1997evo to make the starter button work and what you have to do to fix

bad motherboard

Check that the giant red wire on the starter is connected to the starter and the battery. Then check that the giant black wire on the starter goes to ground.

Actually, if there isn't even a click, check the starter relay. And it's fuse. It could also be the ignition switch.

If you are a professional installer then there are numerous technical support sights to access the wiring diagrams for the vehicle. However, what you really should be worried about is the EVO- ALL and how it connects to the Crimestopper unit that you are using. You have to be certain that the hardware and firmware versions are up to date on the EVO. You can find this by examining the label on the EVO unit and, the installation manual that lists the required versions for the vehicle.

sounds like the solinoid has stuck or your start button is sticking on the bars ! find wires to this and start engine and remove a wire , does it stop the starter running ? P...

Your early Evo still had the Hitachi starter and the old style solenoid switch. To check the starter relay, put a test like on the small terminal on the backside of the starter solenoid. It should be a green wire as best as I can remember. Turn the switch on and press the start button. If the test light lights up, the starter relay is working as it should. If not, the relay is bad. If the light lights up but the solenoid does not make a loud click, then the solenoid is bad and should be replaced. It the solenoid makes the loud click but the starter does not turn, the contacts in the solenoid are burned. You must take the back off the solenoid and check the contacts on the backside of the black phenolic plate. To do this, remove all the wires and cables from the back of the solenoid. There should be a nut left on all three studs on the backside, take them off. Then, remove the two screws that hold the phenolic plate on. One of the bolts will remain in the plate while the small stud and one of the larger studs are attached to wires. Check the backside of these studs for burning. One of the studs can be turned 180° and be reused. Rebuild kits are available on the aftermarket parts suppliers. When you put the plate back on, do not over tighten the nuts or the screws. The phenolic plate cracks very easily.

It sounds like you may have a bad starter relay. I'd investigate the clicking that you're hearing in the headlight. That's where I'd start anyway. You didn't give me enough information about the bike nor the engine. The frame is a Wide Glide frame which is different from a Dyna Wide Glide frame. This S&S engine could be an Evo or a Shovelhead but then you said you buy parts for a 1988. That would be an Evo engine.

If your bike is equipped with a NIppondenso starter like an Evolution engine, there is a single wire that plugs onto the starter just above the five sided plate on the right side end. Connect a test light or a volt meter to this wire and press the start button with the switch on. You should have battery voltage on this wire. It should light the light. If not, the starter relay is probably bad. That's may be what you're heaing in the headlight although I've NEVER seen a starter relay in the headlight. They're usually somewhere around the battery tray. It's a one inch plastic cube just like the ones on automobiles.
I hope this helps.

Good Luck

bad connection on starter or batt check bof of em

This is most often caused by a battery that does not have a full charge on it. The low amperage available from the battery causes the contacts inside the starter relay to weld themselves together and allow the electric starter motor to continue to run even after the starter button is pushed. Always start out with a fully charged battery and you will not have this problem.

all the wire you got they all got a big therminal with big hole that goes on the big bolt on the starter and the one that has a small therminal goes on the litlle bolt to the front of bumper hope it fix for you and a fixya for my rating thank you pierre p.s if you have any other question dont hesitate
