Find the branch before you buy parts.
Pick the symptom, run the first safe checks, then bring the exact machine forward when the issue needs memory.

What is your machine doing right now?
Start with the closest plain-language symptom. Each path gives the first useful split, then Traxer takes over when the fix needs memory.

UTV won't start? Start at the key.
First decide what happens at the key: click, crank, or nothing. That split points to the smallest useful check before you buy parts.
- Listen for click, crank, or silence at the key
- Check battery voltage under load and terminal tightness
UTV clicks but won't crank.
A click usually means the start signal is reaching something, but the machine still may not have enough load, ground, relay, or starter capacity to turn.
- Measure battery voltage while pressing start, not just at rest
- Check both battery terminals and the main ground strap
UTV cranks but won't fire.
If the engine turns normally, the first question changes. You are no longer chasing basic crank power first; you are checking whether fuel, spark, and air are showing up.
- Listen for fuel-pump prime before cranking
- Confirm fresh fuel and obvious fuse state
UTV fuel pump not priming.
No prime sound does not prove the pump is dead. It means the fuel system needs a simple power, fuse, relay, connector, and safety-switch check before parts are ordered.
- Turn the key on and listen once without cranking
- Check the fuel pump fuse and relay position
