2014 CanAm Maverick 1000R Won’t Start

Looking for suggestions on what might be causing this to happen. My son was out riding around, stopped and turned the engine off for a few minutes. When he got back in and tried to start it back up this is all that would happen. Weird that it was fine one minute and then not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Take a screw driver and jump the two large posts on the solenoid ( located by the battery) or to locate it just follow the positive battery cable to the end and that's the solenoid jump across the 2 large posts, if it spins over then the solenoid is bad, if not the you need a new starter. Mine sounded exactly like yours. I replaced the solenoid and it worked however the starter doesn't spin it over very good so I have been using that way until this weekend. I shut it down warm and it wouldn't start just a lite clicking sound, the starter was dragging so it took out the new solenoid. Now I'm replacing the starter along with another new solenoid. Hoped this helps

Try pecking on the starter if it cranks after that I would put a new starter on it because it will leave you stranded if it goes completely out

Drop it off at your local Pep Boys.

Sounds like the Solenoid to your starter is bad???

[@richardbaldenegro9822]

Mine did the same, come to find out it was the solenoid, I could cross the terminals on the solenoid and it would start, I replaced the solenoid kept the old one for emergency

[@Undis123]

I was going to say the same thing

[@wyattgardner3552]

Just had this on an Outlander 450. My multimeter was getting inconsistent pulses at the starter. Put 12v to the starter and it spins hard. Customer said he was using atv to jump start lawnmower. Forums said it is common to burn solenoid doing that.

[@jdmsashimi4183]

How do you cross the terminals on solenoid to start it? I need to try this to see if i can get mine to run.

[@richardbaldenegro9822]

@@jdmsashimi4183 use a small flathead screw driver and cross the terminals with the key in the on position

[@jrferguson9456]

Usually start with at the simplist things first check your battery terminals and cables make sure tight check battery voltage then solenoid sometimes tapping it with a screwdriver or jumping it over then if no start check starter

[@issacarceo9104]

Where is the solenoid located cause I have the same problem and can’t find it

[@SKRIBBLESHEET]

Put some washers on your battery connection. You can't tighten them enough to make a solid connection

[@trx250rtom4]

I had similar issue and the bolt the held start backed out and starter lost contact with engine. So basically wasn’t ground properly.

[@natalielucado8328]

There are different things it could be 1:you need to check the spark plugs to see if there sparking with a tester 2:check your pressure 3:the starter could be messed up

[@angelruvalcaba4786]

U need a new started same thing happened to mine

[@bdhddbdj6077]

I'd say change your starters also while your at it check you battery

[@ajlefevers1688]

Could need a new starter or could just be bad battery connection

[@SKRIBBLESHEET]

The connection was loose on mine and wasn't possible to tighten enough to prevent the cables from moving .. basically hand tight cables but absolutely cranked post screws. You need to put a stainless or copper washer or two on the battery post to be able to tighten enough. A little anti-seize wouldn't hurt as well.

[@juancarlosyanezmartinez7027]

please tell me how u fix that problem , mine do same

[@Jordan-ut8wx]

Your starter solenoid is stuck you need a new one or a whole new starter that click is the gear not wanting to kick out

[@cdhink]

Op, did you get this fixed? If so what did you do. Mine is doing the same thing

[@narayanmahadev3742]

Same thing happened we change the battery in the ignition coils

[@dareygalvan9543]

New solenoid

[@jamesortiz6251]

Sounds like the starter is going bad or one of the wires going to the starter solenoid is lose

[@thecoyotehunter9989]

Sounds like either a bad battery connection or a starter solenoid

[@carter.coleman]

My sportsman 700 has the problem, when I hooked up jumper cables it started right up, so I thin I just need a new battery

[@pluggem924]

My can am side by side won't start too

[@jonathanmcginnis5383]

Mine happened like that, it was a bad ground on the battery

[@bradsapp2760]

Mine is doing the same damn thing.. I'm about to replace starter and add extra battery. A bigger battery

[@masonancell8712]

Check your battery

[@wall6766]

The same thing happened with my cousins it’s most likely the battery

[@azddineelkharachi4453]

What si the problem ?????

[@Jacob-kh9do]

try to start it when it is still buzzing

[@gabrielalvarez9570]

Bypass the starter silenoid first with a screwdriver

[@eddyibarra8458]

Do you get it fix

[@ryans350offroad7]

It could be battery or you need a new starter

[@wyattschultz830]

The battery might just be low or not a good connection could be the starter or the starter cylenoid

[@markusfilms8069]

Spark plugs

[@seanmarchiny]

Locked starter or starter selenium not engaging the starter

[@seanmarchiny]

Try tapping the starter slightly while hitting the buttom

[@11ongas33]

Had the same selenium issue...the dealer asked if its blueberry or chocolate flavor,the one with red and yellow polka dots😅

I think is the tire pressure

When my clutch stuck that happened.
