2006 Apex stops running. Help!!!!

If it was the key switch wouldn’t it not have a lit up gauge pod and it wouldn’t turn over?

That's correct, mine wouldn't even turn over .

Possible causes for a no start but gauges light up:
Low battery voltage
Loose battery connections
Poor connection at starter relay. White connector beside the battery on the starter relay
Blown fuse on the starter relay
Failed starter
Frozen starter
Poor connections on starter leads
Poor connection at key switch. One wire controls ign power and the other the starter relay

Battery is tight as can be. Relay next to battery looks good. I am going to look into the grounds now. I did turn the key when I brought it in the garage and it made a strange clicking at the fuel pump relay but then seemed to make the normal fuel pump noise after about 3 seconds. It still wouldn’t start. I can hear the fuel pump doing something and there is a sight gurgle. Sound normal? Attached is a picture of the relays. This seems like the fuel pump relay. Correct? It was making the clicking. Will work on grounds now.

Anyone got a pic or specific info on the grounding blocks?

I forgot you posted that link Steiner. Sorry.

Fuel pump relay is the 1st one on the left.

Do yourself a favor and update to the new Red Solid State one. $22 part.

Check all your fuses as well...there a couple more down by the starter solenoid

Well....checked the connector next to the battery again and seemed fine, battery was tight, fuses were all good, soldered 3 ground block joints together and re taped, heated up the relays with a heat gun(warmed them). Re installed everything and it fired right up and seemed to run good. I can’t be 100% sure what was the issue but I hope it doesn’t show up on the next ride in a few days. We shall see. All if the ground blocks looked ok to me but could have still been corroded inside I guess. I will be picking up a new belt and hopefully a new style fuel pump relay tomorrow. Just to be sure...is this he updated relay I would need? 8GN-81950. Also, could someone verify he wire colors going into the fuel pump relay connector? I am wondering if mine are even in the correct locations anymore. It’s the third one that I’m pointing at in the picture that seemed to click on mine. Thanks again guys!

The new relay is part number 8HG-81951-00-00 and the holder is 8HG-81952-00-00


Red/Green
Red/Blue
Red/White
Blue/Red
Are color of the wires going to the relay

That is not the red one from what I see. The red one is a solid state I guess.

 

[sideshowBob]

The "Red Relays" are nonmechanical solid state.
I ended up replacing all three relays with the red relays...the fourth one is different.
No problems in years of use

I wish I could get them for my Kubota

 

[rangermike14]

Cool. Thanks Bob. Appreciate everyone’s input.

Well, went riding this weekend and ran fine loading and unloading but the first morning I went to start it and all it did was turn over. Wouldn’t fire. I had purchased a fuel pump relay to bring with just in case so I grabbed it and threw it in real quick and boom, it fired right up. Guess that was the issue all along....
