I have a 96 force 90. On the boat (96 Glastron GS160), I've had to re-wire most of the igniton switch and fuse panel wiring. The gauges, radio, lights, and etc. work fine now. My problem is getting the starter to engage. I've tried 2 different solenoids, the old solenoid and a new solenoid from an auto parts store.
The old solenoid first: I'm getting 12v going into red wire through the ign switch, then 12v through the purple and red wires when switch is on, and only 6v through the yellow/red when in start position. The solenoid has 12v through red wire and only .8v through yellow/red. This makes the starter turn slightly.
The new solenoid: I'm getting 12v going into red wire through the ign switch, then 12v through the purple and red wires when switch is on, and 12v through the yellow/red when in start position. The solenoid has 12v through red wire and 12v through yellow/red, but the starter doesn't even budge? Weird huh?
Any ideas?
