Looks like the ground that is visible when you lift the seat may be loose or croroded...fairly common problem but much earlier on. The relays for the trike are under that painted beauty cover just above the trunk lid, may not hurt to check those and reseat them for fresh contact.

All connections have been checked.

That ground under the seat is a little tricky to clean and tighten, the instrument screen going blank and reseting kinda points at a bad ground, the relay is willing but the connection is to weak to handle starter power demand.

Husband is an electrician and has checked all connections.

Did the new battery get propper charge time, the type battery they use in Spyders are a little touchy, semi wet glass matt/ gell cell. Does the electric steering assist feel like its working? Should be difficult to steer with key off and easy with key switched on.
Maybe run an alligator clip from the underseat ground to fresh metal elsewhere on the Spyder to verify that ground.

In that case, he must have a multimeter around the house, right? Have him watch battery voltage while you hit the start button.

While watching meter, when you hit the start button it is so quick that you do not see the change in voltage. That is what ked us to replacing the starter.

Well, when the display resets as soon as you hit the button like you said, that's a low voltage issue. Perhaps you'll want to completely rule out a battery charge problem by putting it on a charger for a few hours. If / When you have confidence in the state of charge of the battery, the connections, and fuses and relays, and still have the problem, then it's above my pay grade.

All the grounds have been checked.
Not the motor, solenoid, or starter.
Battery is good.
Going to check ecm and fuses tomorrow.
Any input would be nice and appreciated.
