I have a 2001 Four Winns with a 5.0 Volvo Penta engine and I have starter issue that I believe I have traced down to a bad wire but before I run a new wire I would like a second opinion.
To start, I can start the engine turning on the key and jumping the relay (A to B) pins based on the guide here on the forums.
I have used a meter to verify the ignition switch is working (12V on the yellow/red wire output when key is turned to start.
I have verified the 12V is getting through the neutral safety switch and gets as far as the final wire harness before running into the guts of the boat.
12V does not reach the C pin of the relay harness.
I also checked the wire right before the harness to make sure its not a bad connection in the relay harness, no 12V there.
I also checked ohm meter mode, open connection from the wire connector under the dash (right before the wire runs into the boat) and the relay harness.
I can not get to that wire anywhere else to check, but I am not 100% sure there are no other components along the path. Should I run a new wire from the dash to to the relay or is there something I am missing?
Thanks!
