I have a 1994 70hp force....can a bad relay or two cause all of the electronics to basically not work? we wired something wrong and initially heard a pop is that what it would have been the relay going bad? please help

Wired something wrong?

Wired what into what?

What is still working? What isn't?

Tilt relays shouldn't effect other electronics.
Rectifier will effect some.

Likely blew the main fuse, located on the starboard side, up next to the top coil.

Re: electrical issues

If wiring something wrong meant reversing polarity then besides the main fuse that 'pop' may have been the backside of your rectifier!

A blown rectifier can affect your ignition and kill spark, disconnect the rectifier from the stator and re-test your ignition.

Re: electrical issues

well absolutly nothing is working electrically...but when we take one relay off and put a wire on it the motor trims......what and where can I find the rectifier? Thanks for any help

Re: electrical issues

Rectifier is located on the starboard side. Just below the main fuse, if front of the coils, above the fuel pump. It is about 1 3/4 inches square, has yelo, grey, and red wires coming out of it.

Also where can I find a good rectifier if I need another? Thanks again for all the help.
