    How to re-install control levers?

    After zip-tying the large wire loom up and off to the side, I still couldn't put the controls back even with nothing in the way. Then I realized I had the controls turned around 180 degrees. I corrected it and it dropped in without issue. What a noob move that wasted 3 days :( Thanks for...

    How to re-install control levers?

    The wire harness attached to the controls?(the single wire attached to the sensor of the throttle lever?) Or the wire harness inside that open area, ie the harness for the on/off switch, etc?

    How to re-install control levers?

    1996 Challenger - I recently replaced the fuel selector valve/pet cock and in doing so, I needed to remove the control levers. I just lifted the whole assembly up and out of the way so I could disconnect the fuel lines to the fuel selector valve. Replaced it and now am stuck with the control...

    1996 challenger wont beep or turn over

    when you say you moved "all the cables around", are you referring to the ones in the electrical box where the MPEM is? or ALL the cables in the engine compartment? did you also move around any of the cables inside the dash/steering console? BTW, I took my battery to autozone today for a load...

    Not getting anything when I plug in the dess

    Did you figure out what's wrong? I'm having the same issue with my 96 challenger, but I had my lanyard post replaced last year thinking it was that.

    I disconnected the ground wire tonight and it was clean with no corrosion. I sanded it down a bit anyway with 600grit sandpaper. Reconnected it, but still get no beeps when I connect the lanyard. Any other suggestions or ways to tell if not getting any beeps is for sure a bad MPEM?

    Sounds good. I'll try cleaning up the ground connector tonight and hope that's all it is.

    Unfortunately, I'm having to resurrect this thread. So the DESS post was replaced last year with a brand new one as I mentioned. And for the most part, the boat worked fine the rest of the time we took it out last summer, except that I experienced the same issue once - where I simply got no...

    1996 challenger wont beep or turn over

    So after tinkering with it as much as I could and not getting anywhere, I took the boat to a shop. They called me the next day to tell me that they didn't find anything wrong with it; it fired right up. Go figure!!!! They suspect a faulty DESS post so I'm having it replaced (no charge for...

    Thanks for the reply! Do you mean every single connection on the entire boat? I did notice the round connector that plugs into the mpem looked like it had some type of grease on the pins. Is that there to protect from corrosion? Im not much concerned about the neutral safety at this...

    Was out on the lake today with my wife and 2yr old and were having a great day until we were ready to head back. Once we cleared the 5mph buoys, I gradually increased throttle. All off a sudden, the engine quit. I pulled the lanyard out, turned the switch off and back on, heard the fuel pump...
