99 Marauder. Randomly shuts off while in motion or not.I would be able to resolve this by jiggling the green connector running from the ignition. 2 days ago I cam out of the house to start her for work and I get nothing. The key is in the on position, I get lights, kickstand is up, bike is in neutral, no start. Not even and attempt to start. My friends think it is the solenoid, but I would like to know for sure before I purchase one.

The green connector is the ignition switch connector. By "wiggling" it you are bringing connection back to something in the area of that connector. Pay attention to all wires that may be moving during this process. There soldered wires on the back of the ignition switch itself that sometime break loose. Also loose battery cable bolts would cause this issue.

SOURCE: 1998 Honda Goldwing will not start nothing.

Sort of sounds like a Twilight Zone kind of problem doesn't it. I would have the battery checked for an internal dead short. This is something that happens on odd occasions and can happen even to a new battery. Yea, the little lights will work ( they do not draw much juice ), but the starter motor draws a lot of juice and a shorted battery just ain't got it. Also check the wiring harness connections. One loose connection can cause bunches of trouble.

SOURCE: the neutral light never turn off

The neutral witch is behind the clutch and as long as it is switched on the bike will not run unless you defeat the kickstand switch.

I really recommend properly repairing the neutral light switch because taking off with the kickstand down can put you down on the pavement way too easily.

94 s10 fuel pump relay clicking no start
The clicking noise at the relay indicates that the relay is bad, or that the wires to the relay and/or connector is bad.

A relay is an electronically activated switch. Inside is a coil. When 12v+ is applied to one end of the coil, and a ground is applied to the other end, the coil gets charged, creating a magnetic field. This magnetic field literally moves a metal lever from position A to position B. One end of the lever is attached to constant battery power. When coil not energized, the lever rests in postion A (which in the case of the fuel pump relay is feeding the battery power to an unused terminal). When the coil is activated, the lever moves to position B (which in this case is a terminal connected to your fuel pump wire). Thus, when the relay is activated, 12v+ is being directed from the battery to the fuel pump.

This fast clicking indicates that the relay coil is not getting a constant voltage or ground supplied to it, thus the lever is moving back and forth between position A and position B, either there is a wiring issue, a connector issue, or an internal issue with the relay.
The relay has 4 wires, black, grey, orange, green with white stripe.
black = ground
orange = battery = 12v+ always
grey = wire out to fuel pump (on some cars this wire is tan with white stripe)
green/white = signal wire from ECM

When key is turned ON, the ECM sends 12v+ out on the green/white wire to the relay for about 2 seconds - this activates the relay coil for 2 seconds, thus running the pump for 2 seconds (priming). When the vehicle is started, the ECM sees a constant ignition signal from the ignition module, and sends a constant 12v+ out on the green/white wire, thus activating the relay coil constantly, and thus running the pump constantly.
When car shut off, no more constant ignition signal, thus ECM stops sending the 12v+ out on the green/white wire.
So, you can kind of test your connector ...
1) remove connector from relay
2) jumper a wire from the slot for the orange wire to the slot for the grey wire - fuel pump should run - wiggle wires to verify at connector
3) probe black wire slot with ohm meter - make sure black wire has constant ground - wiggle wires at connector
test relay ...
1) remove relay from connector
2) rig a ground wire to the tab that had the black wire when in connector
3) apply 12v+ to the tab that had the green/white wire - relay should click once and do this every time you apply the 12v+

That should help you track it down to either a connector problem, a wiring problem, or a relay problem.

If it cuts out randomly I would suspect the green ignition wiring is where you need to start troubleshooting because the solenoid only starts the bike and a faulty one will not cut a running engine off, it just wouldn't start an engine. Check out all of your connections, breaking the connections at the connectors looking for corrosion or broken wires. Clean and put back together. Don't just spray with WD40 as that will do nothing. CLEAN CONNECTIONS are what you are after, not just damp free ones. Contact cleaner, soft wire brush, the wifes nail (emery) boards are the way to go. Pay particular attention around pinch points at the steering head as wires do not take kindly to rough play. Good luck.

Fig. This is the coil wire. Replace it if it looks like this
  1. Remove the ignition coil cover from the ignition coil by releasing the locking tabs on both sides of the cover, then remove the ignition coil.
To install:
  1. Install the ignition coil, then attach ignition coil cover, making sure the cover is firmly in place.
  2. If removed, connect the ignition coil and radio interference capacitor, then install the ignition coil retaining screws. Tighten the retaining screws to 25-35 inch lbs. (3-4 Nm).
  3. Connect the coil wire, then engage any electrical connectors that were removed.
  4. Connect the negative battery cable.

Hope help with this (remember rated this post). TY for using Fixya.
