Nytro won't start

[nytroff]

I have followed some of the threads here about starting problems but I am hoping someone can confirm I am on the right track. The other day I went to start my 2008 Nytro it fired but did not start. When I turned the key again. Nothing. Instruments light up and I hear the fuel pump and clicking. I had a spare starter relay and changed it it. Nothing. Boosted the sled and after being connected to the battery for a few minutes started. Ran the sled then shut it down. Tryed to start. Nothing. There is corrosion where the wiring plugs into the starter relay. Need to check the iginion for corrosion as well. What else could I check and how do you clean corrrosion from the plastic connector plug? Will contact cleaner do it?

How old is the battery? Sounds like it could be bad.

 

[nytroff]

I put in a brand new one as I thought that was the problem.

I also forgot to mention that I got an Error #_1. Can't see that anywhere. JUst sohowed up once!

Weird, I woulda thought battery.

Yeah, get some contact cleaner, usually can get a bottle with a built in brush, spray the inside of the connector, let it sit a bit, then use the brush to clean inside the connector, spray again to flush it out. If you can get a bit of sand paper inside the connector to clean up the contacts more, do that too. Glob it up with dialectric grease before reconnecting, should help with corrosion in the future. If you know you've got good connections to the relay and it still won't start, jump the relay across the terminals with something and see if it starts, if so you know you've got another bad relay. If not, then I don't know what I'd check next. Maybe get the battery load tested, it's not impossible to get a bad battery from the get-go. Could also be a starter issue.

I had the Er 1 code the other day. Most likely it was the load control relay that was frozen.

I had an 08 nytro in our group kill the ECU and the sled would crank and crank but not start, it was giving us a 33, 34, and 35 code. We found two spots on the wire harness were it wore through the harness on the motor (PTO side)

If the load relay is frozen will it crank over? I jumped the starter relay and nothing happened.

Look here for reference:

The rear two relays and the load control relay are the same, so you can swap the rear ( fan) with the front one ( load control) to rule out the loud relay. Maybe bypass everything and run power straight to the starter to see if it turns over. Are you getting nothing now or just won't start? Do you have a multimeter? May have to bust that out to see where power is and isn't reaching.

If you jumped the starter relay and nothing happened, then your battery has to be faulty. The starter should go, no matter the state of the load control relay.

I almost cant believe it can get so faulty that you wont even get sparking when shorting it the relay?

had the same probem, without codes. just a click so I jumped the relay and still nothing. lots of sparks but nothing. If a starter malfunctions should code come up?

 

[nytroff]

When I say nothing happened when I jumped the starter relay, let got sparks but the starter did not turn over.

 

[birdmayon]

If the battery is good, I'm going to guess that your starter is bad.

I priced one at my local dealer a few weeks ago and he said it was $489+tax+labour so f dat. I ordered mine off of www.royaldistributing.com . $133 + shipping. not so bad. Ill get a new starter relay to while im at it.

Well it looks like I need to put in a starter. Looking at the manual, you have to pull the motor. Anyone ever done it? Any tips or shortcuts??
