Any ideas about why my Spyder has No Crank - What gives?

I've checked the threads for this, but didn't see anything that quite fit. New to the Can-Am thing due to back issues and need 3 wheels. I've had some issues with this from the beginning, simple things like 7 year old and worn tires, overheating due to bad thermostat, and waiting on parts and special tools for various little things. It's essentially been sitting since early May, but I have had it on a charger almost all the time.

Finally got it all buttoned up and took it for a drive. Then had issues with no crank. Got that working for only one day almost 2 weeks ago now. Zero crank. Following the start procedure, turn key on, wait for startup sequence and hear the relays clicking up front, press Mode, only blinking parking brake light, neutral, and oil pressure lights on, press start, and NOTHING.

I've replaced the starter solenoid and it still doesn't crank. Shorted out the posts and it cranks. But can't even activate the solenoid by jumping the control connectors with 13 volts. I've replaced it once and have another I haven't put on yet and tested it. Same thing! 13 volts across the spade terminals still don't activate the solenoid! What gives?

FYI, 0.4 ohms to ground on the starter.

Have you had the battery load tested?

No, but brand new

You didn’t mention the Kill Switch in RUN in your second paragraph. Being in STOP causes a “no crank” on a Spyder.

kill switch is in run position. Battery now at 13.1 volts. Same issue with jumping it. That still doesn't explain why 3 starter solenoids will not operate when 13 volts is directly applied to the control tabs.
