Hi Catman. I wrote this in the general. Curious, as per our conversation above, is it your recommendation that I replace all of them? Confused what the other ones are for and if they also go bad and could cause future problems?
The info I have received so far, it sounds like these are...
Thanks Steiner and SXR.
I went for a ride this morning and the sled took 2 clicks before it fired up on the 3rd. I was reluctant to leave but thought, due to the work involved getting loaded up, ready, etc, that I just won't shut the sled off. Did 65 Km's and made my way back to the C/H and...
I looked all over the site/internet looking for pics or videos of it but I couldn't find one for the Apex or Vector? I thought for sure there would at least be some pics of its location and was hoping to watch a vid or two of the replacement and jump starting the sled with a long screwdriver in...
So there are 3 relays and the middle one is the starter relay. Great information, Catman. I appreciate it very much. Thanks! ;)!
Looks like there is lots of info/threads with pics available if I get confused.

Interesting about the dielectric. I actually thought it protected more and wasn't an hindrance to an electrical charge? When I started it this morning the 1st time, it fired right up easily. After the 3-5 clicks after I tried to restart it, it started right up again with no hint of anything...
Thanks Catman. I'll try to locate them and may pull them apart to have a look see. I still think I am going to chance a ride tomorrow but I am going to hang tough around the clubhouse first to make sure it starts a bunch of times before venturing to far. I assume some schematics are available on...
Thanks Catman. That is good to know. Are these relays located behind my primary clutch or somewhere else? Is it a possibility, due to lack of use, storage issues in the damp, humid, hot weather, that this could also be a problem?
Why get rid of the dielectric? Can make for a crappy connection? These relays, are they behind the primary clutch or located somewhere else on my sled? I don't believe I have ever had them apart before but I have put dielectric grease in all sorts of connections within the first couple years of...
08, Catman. I doubt these have ever been done as I've owned the sled since 2010 and I have never personally changed them. As I wrote in the General section, would I still be hearing a click if the relay(s) were bad? Can they be intermittent like that where they work sometimes instead of all times?
I'm not an electrical guy, at all, but if it were the starter relay, would I still be getting the click? The click tells me the relay is activating/working but that is only an assumption?
I posted this in the General section as well.
I've read quite a few posts prior to this one and it seems like it can be a problem once in a while.
Mine just did this, again, where I turn the key but get nothing. It initially fired and ran great then I shut the sled off once warm. Jockeying the...

I hate unfinished/incomplete threads then realized I did the same thing. DOH! Long story short, I found a small nut at a Music store. This mini toggle is used on musical instruments so that is where I headed. Found a parts bin with the extra small washer and the guy gave it to me.
I removed the...
Thanks for the replies guys. I ended up buying a new toggle switch just for the nut but like I thought, it was too big. After digging some more, I realized the toggle is actually a mini toggle. None to be found except a music store, which is where I went and sure enough they had them for...
Thanks, Steiner. I also believe it is a much earlier model? The sled is an O8 and I purchased it in 10 with them already installed. It also has the little light that tells me when it is on or off. I found a similar washer last night on the back of a T.V. cable junction box but it is too big. At...
Just noticed while working on the sled that I lost the little nut and washer that holds the toggle switch in place on the dash.
If memory serves, it's a small nut about 1/2 the thickness of a regular nut and it could be chrome?
Just curious if anyone happens to know the size and thread of this...
Does anyone know the size/thread of this small nut? It's the toggle switch with the small red rubber cap on it. I just finished writing them/Rock but thought I'd also ask here in case they are away or busy?
Thanks in advance.
