06 APEX GT NO START

[JERSEYJOE]

OK I know there are several post on this but this is different. Sled sat all summer in the shed. I started it July 4th, September 5th and last week when I pulled it out of the shed to sweep. Sat on my lawn for a week. Today I go to start it NOTHING. Battery fully charged, swapped starter relay from my other sled, not. Funny when you try and start it the tach sweeps and returns but I do not hear the fuel pump . Engine will not crank with the key but if I jump the starter relay it cranks but no run

Rodents. Hiding nuts and chewing wires….

I really dont think so but will look. Could it be one of the relays on the left side?

Corrosion on the main/starter relay or blown fuse on that relay?

 

[JERSEYJOE]

I switched one from my other Apex which start fine and nothing. Its the first thing I checked. If I jump the starter relay, the starter turns over fine just no start ie no fuel pump is heard when you turn the key on. Also checked the 40 AMP fuse next to the starter relay and it is fine. Like I said it started on July 4th, Labor day, ran for 10 minutes each time. Started fine last weekend when I pulled it on the lawn to sweep the shed. Then nothing

Check the white connector for corrosion on that relay. If its bad it will not crank or power the relays in the left footwell.

THANKS FOR THAT!!!! I will and report back

Checked the 3 wires on the relay. No white one so I cleaned all of them and used the relay from a working sled. Same problem

is there power at the fuel pump relay with the key on?

 

[JERSEYJOE]

I do not know . Which of the 4 relays on the left side is the pump relay?

Fuel Pump Relay

I did a search, but I could not find out the location of the fuel pump relay on a 2007 Apex. Is it on the outside left footwell or is it one of the inner ones? Thank-you.

I am going to check today. If there is no power at the fuel pump relay where do I look for the source?

I had a similar problem with my Apex
Turned out to be the grounding blocks by the clutches, one of them was fried.

Well the crazy times are here. I loaded it on the trailer on Saturday in the rain, had to winch it up on my car trailer. Before I left to drop it at the dealer I tried it and IT STARTED FINE!!!!!. I drove it to the dealer any way and when I got there, sure enough it started fine. I bought a new starter relay and when back to the garage and put it up on the jack. Took every thing off I could and cleaned and applied dielectric grease to every possible connection. put it back together and it has started every time I have tried it since Saturday afternoon, I guess it is fixed
