something freezing,, let thaw for 1-3 mins starts great..

after heavy rid and put away good luck...... no battery probs been tested. something freezing silnoiod????

brake switch??? not ice fishing friendly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if it thaws for a while and starts fine, I would clean any and all snow or frozen slush from the machine. You're headed in the right direction thinking a safety switch could be frozen.

Dont forget to check by the foot brake pedal and by the caliper as these may be the most likely culprit.

Does your battery have power to begin with and it just won't start?

[Kodiak]

check your gear selector, it might be in Reverse and not in park. Do the "can am rock" to get it into park. Sometimes the selectors are hard on the can ams.

lep7mm,,,

It's like a dead battery turn key to on,,, no gauge lights no nothing.....

[killerloop1]

I normally never use park, just hold brake on to start.

prob is turn key nothing,,, but 1 min of heat and all is well
