220 crusader engine dies and won’t restart
Last year my starboard engine would cut out every now and then but it would restart this year when I went to start it I had no power to the ignition. I diagnosed it and thought that the solenoid was gone so I replaced it and the problem was fixed. But when I put it in the water the engine ran fine for about five minutes and then died and would not restart. When I turn the key the red light for my V Dr. does not light up on that side where is the port side does… So that’s telling me I have no power to the ignition… Anybody have any suggestions… Please I’m stumped

Re: 220 crusader engine dies and won’t restart
Clarify what "doesn't work". Do your gauges move when to turn the key to ignition? Or do they move but your engine just won't crank? (a neutral safety switch affects the starter circuit but not the ignition circuit). There is also a breaker on the engine that could have corroded or loose connections and could cause the same loss of power to the key.

Re: 220 crusader engine dies and won’t restart
I did have the engine running but after it warmed up it died... sometimes it would restart sometimes not and then there was absolutely nothing. I took the starter off and took it into a shop to have it tested put a new solenoid on the starter just because I already had an off put the starter back on and the same thing no power to ignition switch. Also had my ignition solenoid checked and it was fine. Is there a separate ignition fuse somewhere that I need to check and where would I find it. Both my batteries are fully charged and pass a load test with flying colours. The only way I see power to my ignition is when I use a jumper wire on the Solenoid.

Re: 220 crusader engine dies and won’t restart
Post a picture of your dash. I'd be surprised if there wasn't a fuse mounted somewhere that you didn't even realize was there. I think it took me a year before I realized I had fuses there. There's either a breaker or a fuse in that circuit from the battery. That's separate from the big red breaker on the engine.
