Have 2003 Bf225 Honda's.Developed ignition problem with starboard motor.Small ignition wire going to starter solinoid was hot whenever battery switch was on.Replaced Ignition switch thinking it was shorted.(no change).
Talked to Honda tech.and found out there was a recall on the main relay due to shorting, exactly like mine was doing.He gave me new relay to replace.Short went away,starter no longer engaging without key on.
However now starter is not engaging at all.Battery is good checked & rechecked all connections.There's not really a wrong way to hook up relay,all connectors are matched male/female.Can jump between small solinoid wire & main cable and starter works fine.
Any idea's?
Thanks for any sugestions.
