99 Yamaha C90 No Electrical Power

[cabc23]

I just replaced my key switch in the control box.<br />It was damaged in an attempted theft. I have a side mount (703) control box. After replacing switch nothing happens when I turn the switch.<br />I checked the connections three times and checked all the fuses I could find. There is no power to the red power wire going to the solenoid even before the fuse and while turning switch. Motor is dead. I don't know what else to check. Thank you for your help.

A service manual would be a great help for you<br />on this and many other service problems.<br /> Try the library,the tab at the top of the<br />page,amazon.com,ebay,etc.<br /> Mean time trace with a meter from battery to switch,switch to solinoid all hot side connections.Then all ground side connections.Be sure all switch connections are same as originals.A manual should give you a schematic<br />and a test procedure for the start circuit.<br />Boating industry of america color code chart at:<br />www.brokeboats.com,says red is unprotected<br />12v from battery,red w purple is protected 12v from battery,purple is 12v from ignition switch, yellow w red is ignition sw. to starter solinoid,Black w yellow magneto short to kill,yellow w black choke,black all grounds.<br /> Hope this is some help.
