Hi There,
I have a 1997 Johnson 90. I recently replaced the side mount binnacle to a top mount and moved the ignition harness to installed it on to a center console. Took it out this morning to adjust the cables. Ignition worked fine. I show my brother how the lanyard switch operates by pulling it off the switch. The engine, of course, died. Then after I put the lanyard back on, turned the key to "on", the solenoid fuse blew! Replaced it, turned the key and it blew again. Not sure what the deal is. Can the lanyard switch be bad? Can something be grounded too much? (I know thats a dumb question) Can the lanyard switch be jumped to test?
Thanks in advance!
