2005 seadoo rxt wont turn over!

[05seadoorxt]

My baby wouldn't turn over this morning. I replaced the solenoid at end of summer. so that cant be the problem. But when it hit the start button it wont turn over. It will just beep and say low fuel. But shouldn't it still turn over? Please help asap

It all depends. The first thing you'll want to know is, do you have a fully charged battery. These motors use a lot of electricity to power up.

Do you get your two beeps to signal that the permissives of the start sequence are energized? If so, when you hit the start button, do you hear any kind of click?...

On the top of the motor, you'll see a plug connection for your ECU.. make sure this plug has not lost connection. This is a constant problem with these computerized motors. So many connections its so easy to break one loose while moving stuff around in the motor compartment.

Lastly, just because the battery may show 12 volts DC or over on a test meter, it doesn't mean it has enough amps to start it. The cold weather willl kill a brand new battery fast. That's why I always recommend you bring your PWC, or any of your toys that have batteries, in for the winter months....:cheers:

It does the two beeps, hit start button it does no click sound. And the battery is on a battery tender but it was off for about 3 weeks. also the screen says maint. And the red lite flashes.

3 weeks is enough to kill it - especiall if it is a walmart or autozone battery

do you have a full size charger/starter box? 99 pecent of the time it is the battery

get a true 12 volt start charge to it and u will be in good shape

also check your fuses in the box - if u have a cheap charger one might have blown

good luck
