It matches the 2000-2001BB. There is no power going to lhe plug.

I'm not so sure that the CDI would have anything to do with it at this point? It has absolutely no power now, no headlights, no nothing. It's a dead puppy. I'm wondering about the ignition switch, or the kill switch, and if these might be the problems how would I test them? All of the fuses are good unless there are some inline fuses that I don't know about.

I'll do some looking, it's going to take me a couple of days to dig into it (back to work) so give a bit to get back to you.

According to the Vin decoder it is a 2000 YFM400FWN (Big Bear 400).

Okay, so I have disconnected the neutral switch and can't get it to read as you say, BUT, I have also tried bypassing it by placing a jumper wire between the two wires on the plugin that plugs in to the neutral switch and it does nothing different. I jumped a heavy gage wire from positive on the battery to the starter and it cranks, the problem is, now I have absolutely no power when I turn the key on. I have checked all of the fuses, and they appear to be good, is there an in-line fuse somewhere? More suggestions?

Thanks, I'll give those things a try and post what I find out.

With the brake on when I push the start button the red oil light comes on but there are no noises, nothing else happens.

I picked up a 2000 Big Bear 400 4X4 that was sitting around that I know nothing about. It will not start. I do have a red light when in reverse. When I take it out of reverse, I do not get a green neutral light, and when I push the start button the red oil light comes on but there are no noises, nothing else happens. How do I test the neutral switch and/or bypass it to see if I can get it to at least crank? And does anyone have other suggestions for me to try?

Too bad you say something is free to download, but you have to make 10 comments before it is available to you when you first start a membership. It's pretty hard to have things to say right off the bat, but when you are trying to download a service manual you don't really want to wait until you have figured out 10 conversations to start. At least it is for me.
