I turn key on and no power to guages nothing. I have 12 volts up to key ignition on red wire thats it. Any thoughts?

If you have power to the key then it has to be your fuse box or the BLACK wire feeding the fuse box from the key switch. The Fuse box feeds the rest of the system.

The black wire off the back of the key? Because I only have twelve coming in on red and not leaving "key ignition" at all.

Turning the key seems sloppy too. No resistance at all. As if there are no more contacts left.

If the key is sloppy and you have 12Vdc on the red wire going into the key switch and no voltage on the black wire coming out then you have a bad key switch.

Another simple test to confirm this is to unplug the key switch and on the plugin that the red wire is on from the battery, take a jumper wire and jump the red to the black on the same plug. If everything comes on then you know it's the key switch.

Ok. We are cookin. Jumped out red and black and power to every thing. Only problem is i pulled in brake and no starter. I jumped out the poles on soleniod and it fired right up. Any idea why starter not getting control signal.

Hi dustins,welcome --I don't remember the colors but you can turn the power on and touch your volt meter to the radio leads and tell real quick which is positive---just stick your volt meter neg probe to a solid ground like a bare spot on the frame and then touch the positive to the radio leads ..see which is hot--good luck,fflintstone---if you still have a key switch problem,it might not work.

The color of my radio wires are red and black. Red is pos and black radio wire hooks to the green ground wire.
hope this helps u. Barnie

Thank you. All! Just sent scooter down road with owner. I rigged him a pull chain switch of a light fixture to turn it on and off.
Thats nothing. Ive driven a car before with no stearing wheel using vice grips.

Need a new ignition switch, and a radio for it, any direction would be appreciated.
