I installed a new relay last summer. I had to pull start it and it ran fine, but still won't start with key (relay clicks). I jump the relay and the starter engages and starts.
What would make a 2008 Polaris 500 ho awd not want to pull out is it my clutches
I have seen this on a few machines. Start tracing wires. Ground wire from the key is the first on Id check. Grounds on these machines go bad from vibration and rough terrain. Not to mention silt in the water.

the usual problem with those is either the switch itself or the magnetic hubs at the front wheels
The factory service manual will tell you how to check both

Hello,
It sounds like you haave a grond problem. When you jump start the quad, attatch the negitive cable to the exaust close to the engine. This should solve your problem. If it does, you need to remove the ground cable from the frame/engine, and clean it as well as where it mounts. Get a star washer and put it between the cable and the engine/frame, this will allow it to cut into the metal forming a good ground.
Hope this helps,
Matt
