If the Diamondback TM500 does not start despite the safety key being in place and lights visible in the motor area, possible issues could include:
1. Assembly errors such as a damaged wire harness or bolts used in the wrong location. 2. Improper maintenance. 3. Internal component failure despite visible power. 4. The safety key may not be fully seated in its proper location on the console.
Inspect the safety key placement and check for signs of incorrect assembly or damage to internal wiring.
