beeping while turned off with key pulled

[briand212]

Got a strange one.
My spx's were out of the water for about 4 years.
The first time out, one of them started beeping as soon as the key was attached.
I managed to get it started and it continued to beep until I came off Idle.
After running for about 30 minutes the beeping came and went then stopped.

Yesterday i was walking by the ski and the damn thing was sitting there beeping.
the key is not attached.
I opened the lid and pulled the wire off the water sensor and the beeping stopped..
further I noticed the battery is almost dead ( brand new)


any suggestions on what would let the beeper go off even with the key not attached ?

Yep... your MPEM is not happy... but since we now know that the sender is probably bad... you can at least get it to shut up.

Oh... get a charge in the battery before it's totally dead.
