first ride lasted fifty yards

[johnketch]

the first time i have ever riden this sled it died fifty yards from the garage
it cranks but no start
key on no fuel pump
relay works even tried a new one
it clicks but no fuel pump WTF

Make sure you are changing the correct relay, farthest to the left in the left footwell. If it was running they usually don't crap out like that, just won't start after sitting at night sorry I can't help more.....

 

[johnketch]

its the correct fuse
i swapped it out because last week i had to use a heat gun to get the relay to work
so i tried a new one and the old one
they both click when keyed on

 

[AttakDog]

After the click you should here the fuel pump cycle till it gets to pressure-about 2-3 seconds or so. May be a bad pump but haven't heard of any so far....

Is it used or new?

2006 apex rtx
earlier i did an oil change and i found and repaired the prob in the first pic
notice the 10 amp fuse right next to where the conector plugs in?
look at the second photo

 

[maxdlx]

could the fuel be iced up. try some iso

 

[srxtwins]

Check your drive axle bearing. If it is worn out the reluctor for the speed sensor wears into the sensor shorting out the system causing symtoms like that.

How are the pluges you may need to put in new ones my 06 did this to last year after it sat all summer

if the fuel pump is not running,it is either the relay or a bad pump IMO.

Or a chewed wire, cause mice never chew wires.....

This is what i found.
this 10a fuse i for fule injection
it is mounted on the side of the starter solinoid
also if you unplug the solinoid you will not get a fuel pump prime
So no fuel pump can be: Relay , 10a fuse , or solinoid conection

Interesting... Fuses are not supposed to burn the "legs" off like that... i see the actual element in the centre is not melted.... personally i think you have a short in the electrical somewheres.... the other night i noticed my main wiring harness on the left side of the sled(siting on seld) was rubbing on the top corner of the valve cover. I had to pull it alway and re-wrap it with electrical tape and tyrap it away to prevent rubbing. check all your wiring, grommets, etc..... one little rub can cause this...

this is not melted off, its broken off
slight chance corosion may have taken place, but i cant get the other half out of the socket, so i cant tell for sure

 

[ROCKERDAN]
