Thermostat change no ignition

[oldway2874]

Chasing leak, replaced thermostat o ring water pump cover gasket, plugged in electrical connector on t-stat. Replaced coolant, everything seems to be connected, Tupperware is still off. I get no ignition no f/p whir but if switch to accessory position I get info for a second. Any ideas, ‘03 abs 40k all fuses good, get a relay tick when I switch to acc position.
Thanks for any help or advise.

sounds like the battery may be marginal, I'd look there first, especially if you haven't touched anything other than what is stated in your post. I'm guessing you get a little life for a few seconds in the accessory position because that doesn't energize as much of the electrical system as the normal "on" position.

Hook the battery up to a car battery with jumper cables, but don't start the car. See if that fixes your issue.

seems your right, the battery is less than 4 months old, I had it on a battery tender, it says it’s charged but the the battery is only showing 10.5 v.

You used a hand held voltmeter at the battery to check this? I've had some problems w/ battery tenders in the past. Everything breaks eventually.

Try starting your bike with the jumpers attached. If it fires up it is the battery for sure, and probably a bad battery tender.

I’ve resolved the problem connected a 14v lipo and everything works fine, I’ll charge the battery on a multi peak detecting charger, thanks everything looks good.
Thanks.
