Starter switch not working all the time - battery maybe? Ideas?

[ndf3lover]

My starter switch fails intermittently. The dealer replaced the switch recently and it still fails. Has it something to do with the battery? Thank you, Mike Thorsteinson.

Since we don't know what vehicle you are referring to, any answer you get will just be a S.W.A.G. ..... Help us help you .....Mike :thumbup:

Has anyone checked out the starter solenoid?

I vote for starter solenoid or maybe a bad ground/corroded connection.

Do you shift to neutral before you shut it down. One less thing the bike needs to perform before it will let it start. Hard habit to get used to but I am almost there.

What is the nature of this failure? Do you push the button and there is no sound? Or you push the button, and you hear a click? Or you push the button, and the starter turns the engine over slowly? When did this failure begin? After winter storage or before then? Did the failure occur rarely and now it occurs more often, or did it just start all at once, so you went to the dealer? What did your dealer diagnose as the cause of the problem? Dealers tend to like selling batteries - did yours say the battery could be the problem?
