When I turn on my running lights, even if my ignition is off, my alarm sounds momentarily. It sounds the same as it does when I turn on my ignition, which as I understand it is normal. I also notice that my running lights are automatically on when my ignition is on. Is all this normal?<br /><br />This is on a '91 Procraft 200Pro with a Mariner 200hp.<br /><br />Thanks!<br />Mike

No, some one screwed up the wiring. Take a look & see where the running lights (at the switch) are getting their power from. Sounds like they jumped power from the ignition to supply the light switch.

If your switch for the running lights is OFF and you turn on your ign switch..you lights come on?<br /><br />If this is the case...it is wired wrong.<br /><br />TMD
