Hello all,
i am in need of some help. I went out skiing this morning and the boat started up fine and ran top notch. This afternoon I went to take my wife and son out to the beach. However, when we out the boat in, I went to enter the code and start it up, it was dead. I flipped the PEM three way switch back to all off, then flipped it back up to all on and tried to enter my code it did nothing again. I noticed that the green lights were not blinking when I tried to enter the code. I checked to see if the horn or blower would work and they did not as well. I flipped the 3 way switch all the way down to bilge only and the light came on and I heard the pump kick on. Then tried to flip it back to full on again and then enter the code, still nothing. I have checked and cleaned my battery terminals, went and had the battery tested and it is good.
So after reading some of the post on here and correct craft fan. I have a few questions that I am hoping you can answer.
1) if the 3 way switch took a dump, would the bilge option till light and work?
2) if the key pad is bad, is there a way to test to see if it is getting the proper power or is there a good way to truly diagnose that it is the key pad? They are expensive and I don't want to replace it to just replace it.
3) I have read were some people have said it was the actual battery cables that have gone bad. Would bad cables allow the bilge pump to come on?
4) is there anything else that I should be checking? I just don't want to throw parts at the problem.
I really appreciate the help in advanced.
Thank you,
AJ
