Just changed water pump ( working now ) and may have screwed up shifter wires when pulling through to make connection at engine.
Also opened up shifter box in a misguided attempt to add tach to switch, tach wires were cut off at tach when I got it.
Switch rotates when I turn it even after tightening plastic nut that is supposed to keep it in one place.
Motor in tub, prop off:
Runs great but will not shift out of forward gear, I realize that this means no voltage to either wire.
Coming from the plug, engine and switch off, shifter in neutral I get
Green Wire .3V
Blue Wire 75V
With switch on, engine off and in neutral I get the same
When running, shifter in neutral I get
Green wire 6.7V
Blue wire all over the place from neg to positive 110V
Have tried putting 12V from starter solenoid to both wires but no change.
1. Should I open electric shift box and look for shorts
or
2.Remove lower unit again and look for shorts in wires from top unit down to solenoids.
Any way to test solenoids while lower unit is o
