Suzuki 2000 vz800 Marauder.... problem starting think it's blowing fuse maybe how do I find the fuse box I have no book for the bike I bought it used 5 months ago. just bought a new battery thought that would solve the problem but as happened again. it won't start has no click when I press the ignition button can I bypass the button somehow. bike has Juice 2 lights and horn but when I press the ignition button I get no click to start.

SOURCE: Bike won't start. Battery is good. Lights

Is your kill switch on it is located on right side of handbar small red off-on switch

check your battery connection make sure they are clean and tight also check the acid level in the battery and the ground cable if your battery is over 3 yrs old it my not be holding a charge well also.

Try bit high amp fuse and see if its blowing or not.If its 10 amp fuse then try 15 amp or 20amp fuse then see.If it still blows then, The turn signal switch or the wiring that goes to horn/stop switch housing.There is short in any of this wires.Most probably its a weak turn signal relay/switch .As you mentioned that " With just the ignition turned on the signals and horn work, when started button is pushed it blows the fuse".
This indicates its switch problem and not a short in wire.Because if there is a short then it will not work with ignition turned on.So check the relay/switch,but short is wires cannot be ignored if switch is checked good or if relay/switch is overheating.

The turn signal relay/switch is very expensive and cannot be returned (most store policies do not allow returns on electrical parts) if it is not what you need.
I would suggest turning on the turn signal and jiggling the wires to see if the short engages/does not. That sometimes will show you where the short is located.

You can eliminate the turn signal relay/switch

from circuit by disconnecting it, and shorting the black/brown and grey wires with a jumper...which should make your winker circuits work as normal.If that fixes your fuse blowing, the problem must be the relay. But if still fuse is blowing then,its short in wires,because relay is by passed.

----------

The black/brown supplies battery voltage directly from the fuse box to the relay, as well as all other items on that fuse, such as horn, brake light. If that wire were shorted, your fuse would blow whether your turn relay was plugged in or not. So...If after eliminating the relay, the fuse still blows...it would almost HAVE to be the grey wire between the relay and the turn signal switch on the left handle bar that is shorted. The wires are close to the bar where they go through the housing, look closely there.

------------

The brake the horn and turn signal switch are all on one circuit. It won't be the actual switch, it will be one of the two wires is shorting out against the metal object right at the switch, pull the two wires off of the front brake switch and see if the fuse blows now. Chances are very good it will not blow now. Take a good look at the wire that was closest to the metal part there.

pull the wires off the front brake light switch and see if that clears the short. The left hand controller is harder. You need to pull the front fairing off to disconnect the wires.

This should help.Thanks.Helpmech.

Check the main fuse.It is a flat fuse (30a) and plugs into the top of the starter solenoid. There should be a spare fuse on the rubber solenoid mount. Remove the fuse out.Then wait for 5 minutes and then reinsert the fuse back.Its on the start relay near battery on red cable, two screws hold it in.The fuse box should be located under the seat by the battery.The fuse IS required in order to start it, because the current that runs to the starter button and then to the solenoid coil DOES run through the fuse. So if the fuse is dead, your starter will be dead. ------------So check the fuse if its bad, blown, shorted then replace the fuse.But if the fuse is fine then remove it for 5 minutes then reinsert it.---------- This will help.Thanks.Helpmech.
