Hey everyone, I have a bit of a weird one I think. My seadoo is a bit of a Frankenstein as it has an engine out of a new GTX. I'm not sure if that will make a difference or not.

Anyways, it ran fine last year, I winterized it and forgot about it. I went to get it out for the summer and it doesn't do anything. I have replaced the battery, checked fuses in the black box in the front and everything checks out. I can jumper the starting solenoid and it will crank. The VTS doesn't move, but I can hear a click back there when I press the button. When I pull the 15 amp out of the black box in the front, I get a small spark when I put it back in. I don't have any beeps, but to be completely honest, I never knew if it beeped to begin with, never paid any attention. I clicked the start button 5 times to see if it is the lanyard, because apparently that's a thing and it didn't beep then either, but maybe my beeper doesn't work. I don't know. Not sure where to go from here. Any and all ideas are very much appreciated.

You may have multiple issues. Work one at a time. Disconnect VTS and disregard the beeper. When you press start button without lanyard does the gauges power up?.
 
Thank you for the reply. Yes, when I push the start button without the lanyard, the gauges go up for a few seconds, then drop back down.
