Apex lost all power

[sledfvr]

Shut the sled off and went to restart and its dead...no gauges, fuel pump, or clicking. I've swapped ecu, ignition, starter relay, swapped solenoids, checked fuse blocks, all fuses. I have no power at the red/white wire that plugs into the starter relay. If I run a wire from the battery to the red/white wire it starts up fine. Any ideas where that wire may have lost power at?
Thanks

I would check the ignition switch where it plugs into the harness.

I checked the ignition switch again an replaced it with one that I know works...and nothing. If I unplug the ignition and jump the red and blue/white wires together then i get the fuel pump and gauges to turn on.

Kill switch?

Kill switch?

I wish... I checked it and took it all apart and it looks to be working.

Check the fuse in the little green box on the starter relay.

Checked the fuse and swapped it with another and nothing. I'm thinking it has to be a rubbed wire in the harness somewhere...Still weird that it was running fine and lost power after it was shutoff.

A friend's nytro did the same thing...I can't remember what it was but it was starter and/or solenoid related...a wire I think...I'll have to ask him when I see him.

shunt
its black little junction were all the powers come together
there is also some for grounds
i soldered all these wires together and used hd heat shrink
i think there is several of them
you have to cut open the harness to find some of them
clutch side inside frame
i dont remember what mine did exactly but this fixed it
so i did all 4 apexs 2006s and 2008s

Exactly the same thing I did to my 06 apex. There's a ground block in the harness, behind the primary clutch. My wire loom had a small melted spot in it and upon inspection I found corrosion in the block. I believe the wires were black with blue tracer- not 100% on exact color. After soldering the wires together the sled was back to normal. I also had a hand warmer code that this fixed at the same time.

Sorry, I was referring to the green box that is mounted next to the starter relay on the side of the battery box. It has heavy gauge wires to it. Not sure what it is exactly, as it is not listed in any electrical fiche, but I have had intermittent electrical gremlins due to it being loose. Affects main power for sure.

That green box is a Maxi Fuse.

I found 3 or 4 ground blocks and they didn't appear to be corroded, but I will dig some more and double check...
Thanks for all of the ideas!

A neighbors sled did it and he had all the connectors soldered. Didn't solve it. Then he found his pto driven side front axle bearing worn and when it took out the sensor, he he it fixed and it's been ok...so far. I wish he asked me...we went through that last year. First sign was shutting down, but I noticed a mileage difference. It was reading off and on til the bearing totally ate it. ( on a friend's low miles 07 vector. Bearing rusty and dry. I grease mine always)
