4. Disconnect the two-wire plug from the starter relay;
then connect the red tester lead to the green wire and
the black tester lead to the black wire.
5. Depress the starter button and observe the multime-
ter.

NOTE: If battery voltage is indicated, replace the
starter relay. If no voltage is indicated, check fuse or
relay.
Fuse
TESTING
1. Remove the fuse from the fuse holder.
2. Connect the ohmmeter across the fuse end-caps.
3. The ohmmeter must read less than 1 ohm of resis-
tance.
Ignition Switch
TESTING
1. Disconnect the wiring harness from the ignition
switch; then remove the switch from the console.
2. Using the ohmmeter, test the connections indicated
in the following chart. If the meter reads more than
one ohm of resistance between connected terminals
or less than 1 ohm of resistance on non-connected
terminals, the switch must be replaced.


NOTE: If the ignition switch tests good, verify bat-
tery voltage to the harness side of the switch plug-in.
If there is no voltage, troubleshoot the battery, switch
fuse, or starter relay solenoid.
If battery voltage is present at the plug-in and the starter
fails to activate, use the following procedure:
1. With the ignition switch plugged in, place the emer-
gency stop switch to the OFF position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the black/yellow wire;
then connect the black tester lead to a suitable
ground.
3. Rotate the key to the START position and verify bat-
tery voltage.

NOTE: If no battery voltage is present, troubleshoot
the harness and/or the starter relay solenoid.
Starter Motor
REMOVING (5000/(9000)
1. Remove the driven clutch, seat, gas tank, throttle
bodies, and intake flange; then remove the cap screw
securing the upper portion of the left rear engine
mount to the engine.

2. Carefully pry on the engine enough to remove the
starter motor; then remove the positive cable from
the battery.
3. Remove cap screw (A) securing the positive cable to
the starter motor; then remove the two cap screws
(B) and remove the starter motor.

REMOVING (7000)
1. Remove the access panels, hood and the seat.
2. Remove the drive clutch, drive belt, driven clutch,
gas tank, and air intake assembly; then remove the
two cap screws and nuts securing the rear of the
engine to the chassis.
3. Carefully pry the engine enough to remove the
starter motor and battery cables from the engine.
CAUTION
To prevent ohmmeter damage when testing circuits on
snowmobiles equipped with an electric start, be sure
to disconnect the battery before testing.
