Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

I assume there are 3 positions on your switch... like on the 1500... ON, OFF, and PARK. The park position illuminates the tail lights - so if you left it in that position you would eventually discharge your battery.

Cheers.

if its not your battery it could be the starter relay. i had a similar problem with my 2006 800.

Ok. I guess its two position on the 800. So the far clockwise position would be OFF, correct?

Cheers.
