98 GTI Seadoo won't turn off

[Bunto87]

I have a 98 GTI. Bought it with an electrical start problem. Replaced the battery, starter relay, mpem and finally the wire harness before I finally got it to start (bad wire harness). Now I can't get it to shut off. Had the new mpem replaced under the impression that a starter inside the mpem was faulty and was sent a replacement. Once I installed the replacement (3rd) mpem, still had trouble shutting it off. Stop button and dess key won't turn it off. I have to unplug the rear electrical box to shut it down. I also noticed that there's very minimal power when I engage the throttle once it starts. I don't think it's a dess key problem because when it's unplugged the ski doesn't start and a red light pops up. It also starts without the 2 beeps. Does anyone know what the problem can be or what my next step is to ruling out the issue?

Are u replacing the mpem with oem or aftermarket. The aftermarket ones do all kinds of craziness.

Aftermarket I believe. Bought from eBay. Could there really have been 2 mpem that had an issue with the starter inside?? The mpem that came with the ski keeps blowing the 5a fuse so I don't think that's an option. Oem mpems are hard to come by locally.

Is there any alternative solution?

You need to message Minnetonka4me. He’s a member on here and has tested oem mpems. Your wasting your time with the aftermarket ones. They are junk.

Also tell him what your issues with your current ones are. He’s the mpem guru. But u definitely need the oem mpem.

Thanks for the name drop. Real crummy that the aftermarket mpems are such garbage

Got the oem from westside. Still having a problem being able to shut it off. If it helps the double chirp is still absent. Anymore help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
