Motor won’t shut off.

[Rranger]

1996 Mercury 125hp serial OGO86789
1)motor will not shutoff with key or kill switch. Os there wireS I can use jumpers on to kill?
2) one pic has a brown wire and a brown/white stripe wire off the male end of the cable from the remote plugged in at the engine. I don’t see anything to plug them into?
3) Where do I start to try to fix the not shutting issue. Thanks.

From memory but could go out to the shop and verify colors in the Service Manual: Pull a connector off a CD Module and identify the yellow/black or black/yellow wiring harness (not CDM) pin/socket...forget sex of WH connection.
Take an Ohm meter on the lowest scale and touch that pin and the block (metal not paint) while having someone activate the switches you mentioned. If no short circuit occurs when its supposed to be shorted, find your open circuit either in the control box or wiring harness including the engines internal.

Good places to look are the moving parts in the control chafing and cutting the wire, or a stress point where vibration has worn through the WH rapper and wire insulation and opened the circuit. Since you said neither switch operates the function then I would look for a wire, not suspect one of the two switches......also verify that the ground wire to the control is in fact shorted to the engine block also (battery -).

Might need this dummied down a bit for me. I’ve attached a pic of the starting circuit. If u could please identify the cd module, cdm and wh connection? And do u happen to know what the tan and tan/white stripe wires coming off the male end of the electrical 8 prong plug at motor are for?

Teasmark I believe I found my issue ground coming off the remote plug wasn’t hooked up. Got this off a guy what else will I find lol.
