2013 GTI 130 SE No crank, good battery

[Freddyk79]

Went to go for a ride today and my ski wouldnt crank. I have 2 beeps from the key, screen comes on as it should. Go to start it and screen shuts off.

Upon investigating a lil bit i can hear the relay clicking. I hooked jumper cables from my other waverunner and got the starter to engage briefly, not enough to start. Then jus the relay click.

Removed battery terminals and hooked cables straight to them. Same, jus click.

Tested battery with my meter and its fully charged with 12.9v's.

Ok so..... now what?

Bad battery, cable, or connection. The display going out is the give-away.

Load test the battery to confirm you don't have a shirted cell.

You can use your meter to check loaded volts pretty well.

At battery while trying to start ski

At input side of solenoid when trying to start

Then output side, then at the starter.

One of or all of these will get your answer.

If your battery is fresh test the voltage on the solenoid with the start button pressed in and see what voltage your getting. If your getting at least 12 on both sides its your starter if you dont get anything on the other side of the solenoid replace the solenoid. They are notorious for failing
