Default 03 400 auto wont crank / turn over

Was riding over the weekend with no issues stopping / starting. Parked the quad last night, tried to start this morning and it wont crank.

New battery, hooked charger to it to make sure (fully charged), replaced fuse - still get nothing.

Its an automatic with the "start in gear" function. Am still able to pull start it.

Would a starter just give out? Havent had any problems with it in the past.

With key, hand brake engaged, when I push the starter button - I hear nothing. No click - nothing.

Any ideas what to chase first?

Have you checked the voltage to and from the solenoid...? Sounds like either no trigger voltage from the start switch to the solenoid, or the solenoid is bad, even if the starter was bad the solenoid should still be clicking if you have 12vdc present....

Best regards,
Max
