You need to start with the extact year or serial number as the are differant ign. system around that time, don't try shorting wire around to make it work as that could be a $300 mistake

I know this is an old thread, but first thing I would try is pulling off the mercury kill switch. runs from the top of the swith box over and is grounded. that's what mine was.
