Let me first say that I know next to nothing about engines and how to fix them... That being said, I have a problem with my Raider that I am hoping is an easy fix. It has only run a few times in the past year (and has needed jump started the last two times). I went to start it a couple of weeks ago, and nothing. Stone dead. I figured I could jump it. Wrong. It did not get any power. Did not turn over, there was no audible "click" when I turned the ignition, nothing was getting power (lights, radio, fan, etc). I pulled the battery and all of the cells were full. I hooked it up to a trickle charger, and it seems to have taken a charge (although it took 2.5 days). Cleaned terminals and reinstalled battery. Same thing... Stone dead. Is there an easy way to check the battery? If I hooked it up to a volt meter and there was even a little juice, it should read 12 volts, but I have no idea how many amps? Is this right. Is there an ignition fuse somewhere that I am missing? If there is, how could that have blown by sitting all these months?
What else could this be???
Keep in mind... I'm an idiot when it comes to these types of things! Thank you for any suggestions.
