1997 mercury mariner motor - no power at ignition switch

[geedubcpa]

I have been trying to figure this out all day - I have no power to the ignition switch - fuse has been replaced - tilt and trim work - can hot wire the solenoid switch and get motor to turn over - something is wrong with the wiring harness - none of the wires at the switch have power?

I am not sure where to look next - any help appreciated.

1997 Mariner WHAT! and what is the s/n?

Do you have the wiring diagrams?

115 hp the harness from the motor to the start switch provides no voltage at the start switch. Battery is strong and motor will start if I hot wire the solenoid.

no wiring diagrams - is there a place to find them on the internet - would it be the same for all 115hp

It definitely looks like you are not going to provide the s/n so I can't help any further.

Turns out my 20amp fuse was getting blow due to instrument panel problems. Had a couple wires crossed on the tach.
