sometimes wen i go to start my ex it will just click back by the battery then the neutral light goes out and it wont start for awile, i replaced the silinoid and it still does it, dead battery maybe? but it starts fine most of the time...

trickle charge it for a day,wait one day, and check if it went down in voltage.

check your grounds too

start at the main ground from the battery, the one that is bolted to the subframe. don't just check it, take it off the battery and subframe and clean contact points up with some sand paper. then if that doesn't work, do the same with the subframe at all 4 points that it is bolted to the frame and clean those up with a wire brush/sandpaper.

well since your neutral light seems to go out..unplug the neutral safety switch under the gear shift and make it is tight and if its dirty clean it. then plug it back up and see if it works. i had a similar problem w/ my '00 .
