I went to start my 2003 SM. The lights came on, I hit the starter button and clicked, then nothing, no lights, nothing. Charged the battery for about 5 hours, connected everything back up, turn the key on and no lights or anything. I get a good voltage from the battery (the battery might be 2 years old.

I checked all the fuses, all good. Any ideas. Thanks in advance.

Is the starter relay inside the right side cover?

Under the tank, on the right, next to the flasher relay.

It turned out to be a bad battery. I'm glad because it's an easy fix, but I can't believe it went bad already. Oh well, thanks for the help.
