Mercury 150hp

[kevinengland70]

I have a 150hp mercury. #2 and #6 was not firing. I replaced the switch box and they are now firing. But now #1 is not firing. Ughhhh!!! So now while trying to figure this out we turned the key and nothing. Just to make sure the battery just didn't die I tried to jump it off and still nothing. Something happened to the ignition. Anyone with any ideas please help.

Check the 20 amp fuse under the cowling.

ok checked the fuses the 20a and the 30a are good. The only other fuses i see are 2 relays underneath the steering. Im new to all this so should I replace both of them? Could the ignition switch have went out just that quick?
