Title: 2010 Zero DS Unresponsive, wont turn on
Post by: mark_Tannen on August 19, 2020, 05:17:23 PM

My 2010 Zero charges fine, but when we turn the key nothing happens. The dash doesn't light up and we are unable to move.

I've replaced the fuses twice, it has a full charge will good pack voltage, and I'm honestly stumped,

Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks!

The key switch itself can fail.  Have you tested for continuity through it?

Any beeps or lights flashing? If not, you can rig up a DC 12 V power source (at least 2 A) in the connector 'PANEL 12V' on the main harness (it's one of the 2 connectors on the back of the battery box) to test the bike systems apart from the battery (and, obviously, the motor). If it works, start digging into the battery box...

It beeps once when you first turn the key but nothing after. No lights flashing either. Yea I'm confident the display and everything would work if we hooked up a 12V to it so I'm afraid you could be right and it could be inside the battery box

We do get one beep when we turn the key so I dont think it'd be the key switch. But regardless i'd like to test it, do you know when I can measure the continuity off it?

The relay can fail in that sort of mode where it only works for a moment.

I've made a set of electrical schematics for the bike, which are available on the Unofficial Manual: https://zeromanual.com/wiki/S_Platform/Schematic.

Did you figure it out? For the 2010 to start/pass it's checks, it needs the key, throttle and motor temperature sensor. https://medium.com/@ryan.mcneely_93025/hacking-a-2010-zero-s-electric-motorcycle-part-3-mbb-setup-and-serial-console-54f9f58674cd

Wow, amazing work, thanks so much for doing that
Do you happen to know exactly what the Mbb ? Box does
Has the same on the x and Mx ( with switches and led )
