Tried the crank the N the other day and no noise at all. I thought it was the battery although it's not a couple fo years old. Had it checked and OK.

Any thoughts? Sounds like the starter button? I need to get it cranked so I can move it. How is the proper way to bypass the starter switch?

The factory button is interlocked so you can't start it in gear. What I am about to propose will defeat that interlock so--- If you promise to be 110% certain that it is in neutral and there is nothing or no one you could run over [if the hydralics are cold it will still sometimes creap in neutral]--- then if it has the stock three pole solenoid [and if it is six volt positive ground] take one jumper cable and hook it to negative battery terminal, turn on the key, touch it to the starter post or the starter side of the solenoid and it ought to crank. Lots of other things can cause what you describe so if this doesn't make it crank post again.

Your mileage may vary

While we are talking about defeating starter interlocks, and safety, perhaps the jumper cables might be the answer to both. ( standard disclaimers apply )

why not hook the red cable to one side of the relay( negative in from battery), the black side to the other ( negative out to starter ), then get up in the seat where it is somewhat safer, and when you touch the other free ends of the cables together, you should get something if the starter is good... keep in mind there is alot of copper and poor connections in this scenerio, so don't look for a powerfull starter response.

If it is a bad relay, TSC sells them, as well as the oem thumb switches.

Bypassing the starter switch is a dangerous proposition. DO NOT try to start it if you're not in the seat. Channel locks and solenoid relays don't mix. Imagine a Ford Econoline pushing an old volvo into the garage with the overhead door still down, and putting the motorcycle handlebars in the kitchen (there was no door from the garage to the kitchen either) Starter Manufacturers are continually developing ways to prevent jump start protection under the hood, back tires kill people that don't follow the rules. My 9N has a former owner installed push button switch on the dash, and i'm hoping to convert it to OEM for safety's sake. Please be careful. Jim Cox Starter Rebulider
