Famous Red plug Johnson 70HP

[ejmr]

I have a 1999 Johnson 70HP with no spark, I'm looking for the red plug under the cowling trying to isolate the problem and make sure the problem is not coming from the ignition switch/controls, believe it or not I don't see a red plug anywhere. Can someone post a picture or diagram showing where this plug is located on this engine? Much appreciated.

Johnson/Evinrudes used the famous red plug on the engine end of the control box wiring harness up through the 1995 model year. In 1996 and later, they changed to the multiple Deutch connectors.

No wonder I couldn't find it. So, should I disconnect any of the three connectors or just unplugging the black/yellow wire from the powerpack will make sure that the issue is not coming from the key switch?

Correct.
