broke350 Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 In chasing down another electrical gremlin I installed a brand new Yamaha OEM key switch and a new wiring harness from JDM customs with one of their under the seat key/CDI/VR relocation brackets. Even with the new switch and harness, turning the key will not shut off the quad. Kill switch on the handlebar still works and kills it just fine. The original key switch wouldn't kill it either when I had the factory harness and key switch installed. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Surfrjag Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Check the wires coming out of cdi. They havent been tampered with? Is cdi oem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudeMachining Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Remove everything and put a Kill switch. Clean and simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broke350 Posted May 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 It's got an OEM cdi box. The factory connectors and wires are intact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broke350 Posted May 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 As for the kill switch. The factory handle bar switch works fine. I never have cared for the tether kill switches as I don't like splicing into the wiring and I don't make a habit of falling off my quads. I mainly want the key to work so I don't feel like I've wasted money on the relocation bracket and key switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
