Why does my quad click when I try to start it?
Your ATV most likely clicks when you try to start it because of the battery. The reasons for this are numerous, from loose connections to a current draw that drains the battery. If the battery is not the cause, the ATV probably has a faulty starter solenoid.
How do you hook up a starter relay?
Wiring a relay is straightforward.
- Mount the starter relay.
- Connect the starter motor lead to the switched output.

- Connect the battery positive terminal to the other large terminal last, which may be marked BATTERY or BAT.
What wires connect to a starter solenoid?
A typical starter solenoid has one small connector for the starter control wire (the white connector in the photo) and two large terminals: one for the positive battery cable and the other for the thick wire that powers the starter motor itself (see the diagram below).
What causes a four wheeler not to start?
There are two main reasons why an ATV will not start. One is the unit does not have spark and without spark the engine will not fire. Also, if the engine has poor gas flow your ATV will not run. Below are simple steps on how to check to see if your ATV has proper spark and gas flow.
Is a starter relay and solenoid the same thing?
A starter solenoid is an electromagnet which is actuated to engage the starter motor of an internal combustion engine. The starter solenoid is sometimes called the starter relay, but many cars reserve that name for a separate relay which supplies power to the starter solenoid.
What are the terminals on a starter solenoid?
Typically, a starter-mounted solenoid has three terminals with three connections:
- The “B” or “battery” terminal: The terminal that connects the solenoid directly to the positive battery cable.
- The “S” or “start” terminal: The terminal that receives power from the ignition switch.
