Battery is fully charged but everything is dead

[michaelparker51]

I have a 2000 Nautique that won't start. It has the push button ignition system. The battery is fully charged but nothing works. The only light that comes on on the dashboard is the ignition on/off indicator light. I've tried entering the code, disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, checked all the breakers and everything looks fine but everything electric; bilge, blower, horn ignition etc. is dead except for the radio.

Anybody have any ideas?

Toggle switch near the throttle, or possibly the safety lanyard.

if you tried to start and used wrong code it locks you out for a while

check the glass fuses in line at the battery. I had a connector go bad there and went dead in the water.

Thanks

I checked the Laniard but not sure if there is a toggle switch near the throttle but I will check. Only had the boat for a month. Been messing around with the codes and the glass fuses for hours. Called the dealer, Chessie marine and He said he would start with the Gateway box then the keypad. So if I don't figure it out by Saturday that's where its going.

Keypad bad

My 2000 SN did the same thing last year. It was the keypad that had gone bad. Search for it and you will find that they go bad after 8 – 9 years. I called White Lake Marine and they walked me through a process to verify that was the problem. I ordered a replacement from them, and everything was good after that.
