Fuse keeps blowing

[2strokes]

I was out for a ride yesterday on my 98 gts and it stopped dead. I took the seat off and noticed the neg battery wire came off, put it back on and wouldnt start i then opened up the mpem box and the 5 amp fuse was blown,:confused i replaced it with the spare and as soon as fuse touch the metal it blew and the black protective crap bubbled up. Im just going to assume its a bad diode if anyone can help that would be great!

There is a thread in the PWC "How to" section on fixing it... with part numbers.

hi my friend your not the only one with this problem ,be shure to check your stator first and your rectifyer before you opem your mpem if your mpem burned up this is not good news ,i already check my stator and it was ok it wasnt burned looked like new ,then i proceed to check my mpem i already made the hole to put a new diode ,now am looking for the diode to install it to my mpem ,this may result and if not well i guess i have to buy a new one ,check out the 2 treads of 5 amp blowing and read with caution ok anything you need to ask just contact me or member that replied to the treads att willito
