Hi there, I recently was missing the starter option, so I bought a new battery. But, the weirdest thing happens, starter sometimes works first try, but sometimes it will only work after using the horn. I saw this weird correlation after checking the fuse is not blown, by... using the horn. Most of the times starter works afterwards...
I know its a tough call, but any ideas where to start? It's a px200e 2001
Thanks.

check the connections are clean on back of the horn , as thats how power feeds up to the start button . the only battery operated stuff is the horn an starter on a px so am guessing a whiles non-use=dodgy connection. H

H Henry thanks, The horn works every time. Allthough I can't see a reason why the horn may have an effect on the starter, should be two separate circuits... Sent from my LG-D802 using proboards

And what's more weird is that the horn doesn't need to be on while trying to start, it's enough if I just push it a sec before I push the starter button.... I'll try to post a video

they are seperate circuits but also inter-related as only dc stuff on your scoot ,an obviously having a effect on each other from symptons you describe .the improvised connection you mention ,do you mean 2 wires connected by a spade connector whilst rest are block connector.ones purple if memorys workin today ,thats normal behind the horncast . halfords/car parts shop/maplins an a can off switch cleaner spray would be my first stop , spray horn/starter switches an also clutch lever safety interlock switch if fitted . as switches might off got some corrosion in the period of un-use .

Henri, I can't remember the color but I did see an improvised connection when I took off the horn cover. I'll definitely have to check that, starting off by disconnecting it. I also spotted a lonely pink wire not conneted to anything.

Anyone knows what this red box does? It's located under the horn cover.

Ok, that's the starter safety interlock unit

Well, turned out the problem was the "safety starter interlock relay". What's bizzare, I still don't see how the horn affects it. Anyway, looks like problem solved.
