By taking it off and testing it for resistance with a digital multimeter.
On my 1995 Ford Explorer , as far as I know , the starter solenoid is mounted on the starter and the starter relay ( which most people just refer to as the solenoid ) is mounted near my battery and has the positive battery cable connected to it ( a relay is a low voltage switch ) P.S. I'm not a mechanic / technician
Is there a Brake Lock out switch on that bike. I know th LT80 has a swith on the brake that5 needs to be engaged in order for there to be juice going to the relay then the starter.
It sends a power to the starter relay/solenoid to engauge the starter. Know that the ignition switch is not what you put the key in and turn. That is the lock assembly. The ignition switch is located lower down on the steering column.
Exactly how is going to depend on who installed the alarm. There would be a relay which (likely) breaks the starter cable. You'd need to locate this relay and reconnect the starter cable where the relay has been inserted. Not much help, I guess, but for what it's worth. If you know where the alarm module is you could try tracing the cables from it, or (easier) try tracing the starter cable from the switch until you find a break (tape, splices, whatever) then just remove the inserted cables and join (repair) the starter cable. If anyone has a wiring diagram that would give the colour of the cable, it would help.
I need to know which relay you are refering to? What does it operate?
This question does not provide enough information to provide you with an adequate answer. What does/does not happen? Does it crank? Have you checked anything besides neutral switch? Do you know that the replacment neutral switch is working right? Don't assume that because something was replaced that it is now working properly. Use a meter to determine if current is getting to the starter relay. BTW, the starter relay on a Chev is on the starter. You will have to do a little investigation to find out what's wrong.
Could also be a battery issue, starter issue, starter solenoid, starter relay, neutral safety switch issue, even loose or dirty battery connections could cause that condition. You will have to do some detective work and use the process of elimination technique.
You know the starter is going bad when you have a dragging starter.
To determine if the starter relay is bad, you can perform a few checks. First, listen for a clicking sound when you turn the ignition key; if there's no sound, the relay may be faulty. You can also test the relay by bypassing it with a jumper wire; if the starter activates, the relay is likely the issue. Additionally, using a multimeter to check for continuity can confirm whether the relay is functioning properly.
How do you know if it needs to be replaced
A starter relay assembly may be bad if you experience symptoms such as a clicking sound when turning the key, no response from the starter motor, or intermittent starting issues. Additionally, testing the relay with a multimeter for continuity can confirm its functionality; a lack of continuity indicates a faulty relay. Physical inspection for corrosion or burnt terminals can also signal a problem. If these signs are present, replacing the starter relay is advisable.
I know that the 1 on the far left is the fuel relay
