2004 115 4stroke Alarm on constantly - yet another one

[Wmocarsky]

I have a problem similar to another posted under the 'alarms' formum. Couldn't figure out how to get it there so here goes:

When I turn the ignition key to one (before cranking motor) the alarm horn sounds continuously. When I start the motor, the 'system check guage' never attempts to cycle through its lights (no lights ever light).

With the key just 'on':

I have checked the ground (tan wire) on the alarm horn - it does not go to ground.

At the connect to the alarm horn, I have 'looked back' towards the motor. The return wire (not +12V) has some continuity to ground, but it shows some resistence.

Can the 'system check guage' be bad and cause this?

If someone can tell me where the temperature/oil sensors are, I can check them. I assume that only one side of those sensors at the connectors should be grounded.

If it is not any of those other than a shorted wire - could it be the control module (I HOPE NOT).

Thanks for any suggestions

Found the issue with the 2004. Turned out to be the check system gauge. When I disconencted the connector to the gague an looked back into the wires towards the motor, all was OK on +12v and black was ground - all others were open - just as they should be. The wires to the alarm were ok to. So purchased a new gauge and everything is OK
