Five miles away in camp and went to start the APEX in morning and it just makes a clicking sound like its dead ((07 Apex GT stock)). Took the blue bullet back 5 miles to the truck pulled the truck battery out then jumped the Apex....click...click.... :o| ...I turned the key a few more times and then it fired up ? Temps were around 20's but the next day morning temps were low singles 5's or so and it started right up? Any thoughts?
Also now it seems like maybe the throttle sticks just a hair, making it rather difficult to turn tight corners and had the sled shutting down becasue of the safety feature. The cable seemed fine and if I blipped throttle it idle right on the money??
Any help is greatly appreciated....btw I put almost 200 miles on it that day with no other issues. Im surprised the big girl handles deep snow better than my stock 2000 SRX, with is a complete submarine.
 
sounds like a relay or bad connection, or bad battery with jumpers bad connect. the throttle thing I had happen, somemreason noone else ever heard of it. the butterflies in the rack were closing so much they were rubbing on the bores. scary in the tight stuff when the throttle stuck a little. ended up rasing rack idle and lowering airbleeds on bypass. 2000 since, no problems
 
I think its the relay. I just changed mine. It didn't do the click sound, but the power would come on but when I turn the key nothing. Changed the relay and it was all corroded. The relay is on the right side of the battery. Part # 5LW-81940-02-00.
 
Click

I powered washed the sled yesterday and today it gave me the click...click..then it started. Must be a relay.?.? The temp today was 4deg F this morning.
Ill certainly check those relays, thanks for the numbers.
On a brighter note the big boys spring and revalve from pioneer made the sled ride nicely. I hit some pretty big washouts and it never bottomed out.
