It would help if you provided year and model, a description of the problem, and what diagnostic work has been done so far.

Reasons for not turning over:

Bad Battery.
Bad connections.
Bad relay.
Bad solenoid.
Activated safety cutoff.
Bad starter.
Blown fuse.
Stuck motor.

Where would you like to start?
2017 Zforce 800 - Red
SuperATV Flip windshield
Tusk soft rear window
Uni-Filter foam air filter
Bandit springs

Hello, I am having an issue with what seems like my kill switch on a 2012 z6. I bought the UTV with 150 miles on a newly rebuilt motor and 750 total miles on it. It has been nothing but perfect for the past three weeks and about 200 miles. We discovered that the four wires to the kill switch had all been spliced together and the switch completely disconnected. Mind you, it ran perfect, no issues. We were told by the prior owner that when the shop rebuilt the motor that they bypassed the kill switch. Not knowing why, we attempted to reconnect the switch. Once we did this the fuel pump immediately stopped running when the key is turned on...the starter still turned but the motor didn't turn over due to, assumed, lack of fuel. We turned the starter a few more times and then decided to try to swap out relays thinking that the fuel pump relay may have failed. After this, now the starter also stopped turning. We then decided to splice the four wires to the kill switch back together since it ran perfect before our attempt to reconnect it. Still no fuel pump or starter. Everything else still functions,.. lights, horn, dashboard display, odometer, fuel, clock, temp and gear indicators all work properly. It's like the kill switch is off even though it's no longer connected and is bypassed?..Is there a chance the switch was bad and by having it temporarily connected we fried all the relays? Has anyone done the bypass of the kill switch and if so, did you use the method of connecting all four wires together or another method? I'm aware this sounds odd, at least to me, to have all those wires connected as a bypass, but I can assure everyone that the Z6 has been flawless since I bought it home and that is how the kill switch had been bypassed. Any input from any of you on this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Lots of reports of kill switches getting water in them and corroding several..not all..contacts making some things like starters work but not fuel pumps or ignition systems. That same water also can short several contact together that shouldn't causing even more expensive issues. This is what likely was the initial problem that a simple 10-dollar switch could have cured. It's now likely it has a blown fuse or worse...a toasted component like the ECU. Get a new switch and correctly wire it back up, make sure those swapped relays are put back where they are supposed to be and check all the fuses. Then if there is still a problem it can be traced. You can easily test for coil power,fuel pump power and ECU power.
