I disconnected the headlights on my 450 and covered the open connectors with plastic and electrical tape. The last two times I washed the ATV with a power washer, I found the electric starter would come on and stay on whenever the ignition key was turned on. It was as if the "start" button was stuck in the depressed position. After some troubleshooting, I disvovered the problem was caused by water getting into my open headlight connector (left side). It grounds out the circuit that engergizes the low current side of the relay.
So, does anybody have any good advice on how to water proof these open connectors? I wish it could buy dummy plugs that would plug in there.
