I have a 100hp Johnson electric shift that is giving me problems...I recently went to go out and start it and I turn the key but I have nothing. I think its the gear selector in the control but im affraid it might also be something in the lower unit. I have power going to the geat selector switch but nothing after the switch and I also have no power going to the starter relay from the ignition switch. I ordered a used set of controls off ebay hoping this will fix the problem but im scared theres more to it. Any ideas?

There is nothing in the lower unit to cause that problem.
