I was able to get my a/c working, was only something plugged up in the discharge line....nice 4th watching fireworks right from the marina.
So, I had my dash ripped off, cut all the wires. Had a guy rewire new gauges and dash. Something was wrong - when you turned the key to first position the normal alarms would go off- but when you turned it to start, it made the most God awful shorting sound- somewhere in the engine compartment and I assume the starter- I think it was kicking out the thermal breaker on the starter- everything was dead on the key....and after a few, I think it reset and if you'd hit the key again , make the noise and then dead again. I think I did this like 3x. He figured out his wiring and it seemed to be fine. We did a trial run and everything seemed to be reading right on the gauges- everything was good. So, I launched and it did it....waited a minute started no issue- to the marina - fixed the a,/c- went to leave this am and the key totally dead-shore power all works, radio works on aux. First turn of the key I could hear something wirring- like the trim tabs- and then dead. Just seems to be engine related power. Did this guy ground out something and now it, or the starter is now failed?
