Tinkering with my 2001 Honda 400ex today and found that it won't start. Everytime I hit the start button I hear a chattering noise coming from the battery area. I finally tracked it down and found it to be coming from a relay right next to the battery. I think it would be called the starter relay is this right? How much do they cost and can I bypass it till the part comes in. Thanks for any info.
hey check your battery and make sure all the connections are tight and not corroded . If that is all good you can take a old screwdriver and cross the 2 bolt terminals on that relay. that will make straight power goto the starter. take care.
I tried that crossing the two and it does try to start then, but it hurts my battery.
sounds like low battery voltage im in st.pete if you need help you can bring it by the shop
