Here the situation. I left the sled in a friends barn over the summer. When I parked it all was good. Over the summer he had to move the sled so he fired it up and moved it. After he parked it he hit the kill switch and left the key on like he does on his Ski-Doos. Well after having this sled for several years I know to turn the key off or the battery goes dead. So, while the key was on for about 6 months, sure enough, the battery is shot. So, yesterday I bought a new battery. Filled it, charged it over night, and threw it in. I hit the key and get nothing, nada, zip! The solenoid makes no noise, nothing. If anyone has had any expierience with this problem could you point me in the right direction. I'm thinking solenoid but maybe there's a fuse somewhere I'm missing? Thanks.
 
There should be a fuse attached to your starter relay. It is part of the red wire running off the positive of your battery.

Battery = Good ot new
Switch= test cintinuity with ohm meter
Starter Relay= you can bypass with jumper wire to see if bad
Fuse in starter relay = you can pull and inspect. (Believe its a 30amp)
Solenoid / Startermotor you can test by bypassing starter relay and switch. (Run a wire from battery right to starter.)
