Gotta get power to those two breakers...ECU and fuel.... Holy s... wheres the tylenol.
Geez I don't know if this a help or not....
Thanks Bud, there is a relay inside the engine mounted breaker box. When I turn on the ignition switch in the cabin, on the working starboard motor, that relay is triggered, and 12v is sent to all 3 10a breakers. When I turn the ignition switch on in the cabin for the port motor, I get nothing. There is a purple excite wire that goes to that relay that's not getting power. The relay works (swapped it), but the boat is not suppling voltage to the excite wire to trigger it. That seems to be my issue. The cabin switch appears to be working, but the output from the cabin switch is a fat red wire (I'd guess 8 gauge). I don't know where it turns to purple, or why it's not working. There is a purple wire at the helm, wired to the "ignition off" switch, but putting 12v to that wire does nothing for the purple excite wire in the engine compartment.
