Maybe check your fuses? Or Relays?

Sounds like the starter relay froze up, its connected right on the battery tray on the PTO side of the battery tray. Mine did it lst year and I opened the hood and the sun dried it out in about 5minutes. Then she fired right off.
I replaced that relay this year and taped up the connections better so snow and moisture can't get in there.

I know you probably checked this, but I've seen it before, so I'll mention it.
Did you make sure the kill switch button was up?

Left the ignition key in the on position and turned it off with the kill switch.You must turn it off with the ignition key.Turning off by the kill switch will have no effect if you have the ignition key in the on position.

Did you check the batterys condition? it could have 12v sitting but when you crank it if it drops below ten volts it wont trip the relay and make any noise at all. Did you leave the key on and kill the battery?

I'm sorry I meant mag side not the clutch side. Between those two fuses is the harness unplug that and dry it out if its wet at all. If its dry we'll need to keep thinking.

Same thing happened to me, if you were riding it and got some snow in there it's possible it froze up on ya. use a hairdryer under the hood for a bit and see if it thaws it out. If I recall it's on the oil reservoir side of the motor. I dragged mine into the enclosed trailer and turned on the heater 15 mins and she started right up.

won't start
Does anything smell burnt? I had a starter relay stick open once and the starter turned until it cooked itslef and then the sled died and there was nothing. Not likely though if you shut the sled off right away, I drove for 3-4 mile before it cooked.

figured it out it ended up needing a new battery
