    94 SkiDoo Starter Relay Only Clicks.

    I'm embarrassed to say that the problem was the battery. It tested bad. I have a "backup" battery that I keep on a maintainer. I took both to the parts store. The one in the craft tested bad. The backup tested good. I put the good battery in and it fired right up. I checked the battery...

    94 SkiDoo Starter Relay Only Clicks.

    I did that. No sparks. But the starter motor turns VERY slowly. It must not be pulling much current at all. I'm beginning to think the battery is bad. I'm taking it to the parts house for testing / replacement. New battery = simple fix. New starter = very difficult fix.

    94 SkiDoo Starter Relay Only Clicks.

    I went back out and did some more work. I disconnected both large cables from the solenoid. I then energized it via the START button. It reads open normally, and zero ohms when closed. Also, with the starter cable disconnected, the solenoid clicks only once. It holds shut as long as the...

    94 SkiDoo Starter Relay Only Clicks.

    I jumpered those and just got sparks. Nothing from the starter... I don't understand the click, click, click thing. Most automotive relays are on or off, not cycled. How does that work? I tried measuring the voltage on the starter side while the relay was clicking and couldn't get a real...

    94 SkiDoo Starter Relay Only Clicks.

    Which two posts? Mine just goes click, click, click, click when I press the START button. I can feel something going on in the relay, but the engine does not crank. I need to know what these two posts are that people keep referring to.

    2006 GTX Mirror Replacement

    OK, I figured it out. For future reference... I smacked the inner shell a coupla times and the outer shell just popped loose. After lifting it off, it took only a few seconds to see that it's held down by a bunch of little fingers that slide into slots in the inner shell. So, all you really...

    2006 GTX Mirror Replacement

    I have purchased a replacement mirror for one of mine that has broken. I took a stab at replacing it, thinking it would be just a matter of removing some bolts, etc. Well, like most everything else, apparently, there's a trick to it. Under the front storage "lid" (which contains the...

    Reverse / Steering Cable Nut

    I thought about that. Perhaps it's designed to fail. It's better to replace a nut than an entire cable. Also, I noticed that when you move the diverter through it's full range of motion, the cable end also moves up and down. You can see it flexing where it comes through the nut. Perhaps...

    Reverse / Steering Cable Nut

    I received the nut from Sea-Doo Warehouse (Broward Motorsports). The original nut was black plastic. The new nut is white plastic. Does anyone know if this new nut is made of some better/stronger plastic than the original, or if it's just a different color? I've also ordered a couple of the...

    Reverse / Steering Cable Nut

    Hi, all. Like several others have, I just experienced the failure of the plastic nut that retains the back end of the reverse gate cable. The PWC was stuck in "sorta reverse". Upon inspection, I found the nut had broken and the cable had slid rearward. It looked like I would have to remove...

    '06 GTX Cluster Removal

    I took the ski out today. The cluster worked just fine for a while, then started acting up. Eventually, it went totally blank. The shade doesn't come off as easily as suggested. There are three tabs that have to be released, and they cannot be released until the cluster is removed. And...

    '06 GTX Cluster Removal

    There's a wrinkle to my story... The reason I bought a new cluster was because the other day, when bringing the ski in for the day, I noticed jibberish display. There was the random dash or hash or bar or whatever displayed - nothing legible and most of the screen was blank. These "random"...

    '06 GTX Cluster Removal

    I just reread this post. It sounds like I have to do something with the new cluster BEFORE installing it. Is that correct? Or, can I install it, take the craft to the dealership for all the "marrying" and "flashing"?

    '06 GTX Cluster Removal

    Thanks for the info. I did not know I could get a free shop manual. I read it some and it clearly shows how to remove the cluster and trim ring. But, I could not find how to remove the "eyebrow" or "shade" above. It clearly snaps in, but again, there's a proper procedure for removing it...

    '06 GTX Cluster Removal

    I searched but could not find the answer. The cluster on my '06 GTX has crapped out on me. I have ordered it's replacement, but I can't figure out how to get the old one out. There is this tinted "sun shield" above it that probably snaps in/out, but I don't know "the trick" and don't need to...
