Hi everyone,
First of all I want to say that I am happy to have joined and be part of the community. I have a bit of a tricky issue. I have an intermittent electrical issue.
My GTX 155 has 43 hours on it so it hasnt been used much. I recently started having issues with what seems like the DESS and Start stop button.
There are a couple of different issues that occur at random times.
1. I attach my key briefly press the start button and nothing happens.
2. I attach the key and hold in the start button. The OTS comes on and the PWC cranks. As soon as I let go everythig dies.
3. I attach the key hold the start button and it just says reading key.
Its so intermittent and goes back and fourth through all these conditions. I have done the continuity check from the DESS to the steering harness connector and it all checked out, so I am not sure it can be the DESS post.
I can also hear the 30A relay clicking every time I hit the start button (It's almost liek the relay is not staying latched, i think the ECM is what keeps it latched. I have had a friend hold in the start button while I verify that there is power everywhere on the ignition bank of the fusebox. Also I have made sure the entire battery bus has power as well.
I am at a loss. Everything seemed to be working fine. I took out the PWC to the lake hit a wave really hard everything died and that where my problems started.
I have also replaced the battery (Previous one was 3 years old), cleaned out the fuse box, replaced all the fuses and relay due to some flux (white powder build up) onthe components, and finally cleaned the fuse box terminals and battery terminals. The problem persists.
Hoping to get some advice and where to even start.
Appreciate any feedback.
