2011 GTS 130 Problems

[Ryguy1188]

I'm having problems with my 2011 Seadoo GTS 130 4-tec. I took it out about a month and a half ago, and it was running fine, then I stored it in my home garage. The weather didn't get below 40 degrees so I know nothing froze. I went to do the yearly oil change, and tried to start it to warm up before the oil change and it didn't start. I pressed the start button and it turned over once, then everything stopped. Nothing on the gauge is showing up, and the key doesn't make a beep sound if I disconnect and reconnect it. If I press and hold the starter button with the key, you can hear the relay in the front clicking very fast. I checked the battery and it shows 12 volts. I even tired to jump the battery from my other ski, and it didn't do anything. It appears that the system locks up till I disconnect the battery for a minute, then connect it back up. After I do that, I try to start it again and it doesn't even spin the engine anymore, just kinda makes a pop sound and the lcd gauge turns off and the system is unresponsive, but the relay in the fuse panel still clicks.

Any help on what could be the issue would help me out greatly.

Thanks,
Ryan

One of 2 things: Your battery is probably shorted out, check what voltage drops to when you hit the button. Or you have a bad connection on the battery, or large engine ground

That sounds like a dead battery. It does show 12v but when under load I bet the voltage drops below 8v causing everything to die and relays to click. Try swapping batteries with your other ski and let us know if it made a difference.
