Was out riding and everything was fine. Then I saw a big spark (it was night time) in the starter solenoid area. Quad went completely dead.

Since then, I have ensured that the battery is fully charged and clearly the solenoid is not sending electricity to the starter. I assume that I could start it by the rope if this was the only issue.

With the ignition turned on, there is occasional lights on the gear indicator but that is it. No lights or anything else, best I can tell. I haven’t had a chance to check fr spark yet.

I have ordered a solenoid.

My question is, will the solenoid going bad cause the conditions I am seeing? Does the bad solenoid also affect the two small wires feeding the wiring harness and if so will replacing the solenoid fix that issue as well?

I do not think there is an inline fuse on this thing. Not sure what else could have been impacted by the spark.

Any help would be appreciated.
