Husqvarna Electrical problems

[Tree dodger]

I have a 2016 Husqvarna FE501S with a 2014 Timbersled Short Track, had following problem riding in 2 to 3 feet dry powder.
Shut bike off all normal then would not crank w/estart. Did not have kick start installed yet, was able to bump start no problem,any common areas to check. Unloaded bike and thawed out, estarted no problem so moisture some where.

Thanks

E- button gets moisture in the contact points- apply small film of silicon -electric grease to contact points with switch disassembled , also seal starter solenoid use liquid tape l/h side of bike behind air filter panel

also check the fuse block.. right on the above mentioned solenoid.. Usually Dc power will not need to be sealed, but moisture in these areas creates corrosion that will cause issues.

A quick shot of WD-40 on the contacts will help too. Electrically conductive and displaces water. Designed for distributor caps.
