Does your lights work, have you crossed the solenoid over to see if it starts?

I am having the same of similar problems, I turn the switch on the lights, starter button wont work. I can cross the solenoid and start the quad.......

I am not sure what all the neutral safety switch controls....the neutral safety light doesn't light up either...?????

The fuses are in the harness and are on the left side(or front end of the battery) mine is doing the same thing I can cross the solenoid and it will start and run. The ignigition switch and or the kill switch on the handle bar will shut it down. My neutral light doesn't come on no matter what.......????
