Electric problem on wife's YY250T ** Fixed ** By kczukiman (Read 531 times)

Hi Folks,
Electrical issues are a major problem for me. For the past month, when we turn the ignition key on, sometimes the system would power up and other times not. Times when there was no power, we would just keep turning the key to the off position let it sit for a few second then back to the on and eventually we would get power. As of yesterday, it is DOA . I checked the new batter from two weeks ago and it registers 12.80 volts.
I checked all the fuses and fuse connections. Removed the rear plastics, and pulled the main ground screw, sanded all paint, then reattached the bolt.
Any help would be greatly appreciated !!!

My initial reaction and the first thing I'd check is the switch itself.

Yes, it appears the problem is with the ignition switch. Try some WD-40 spray in there and work the key off and on it may be rust and or crud or the contacts could be shot and a new ignition is in order.

Thanks for the replies.
It ended up being the inline fuse, which I checked many times. The metal tabs that hold the fuse were loose. I am going to change it out.

If it has a tube type fuse I would put in a blade type fuse:
