I have a 1997 Sea Doo GTX Bombardier. Bought is used from a neighbor on the lake. Been running great but now the battery is dead almost every morning. Got a new battery thinking that was the issue. Charged it up and same thing is happening - dead battery in the morning.
Charged battery again and now ski won’t even start. No turning over, no nothing. There is a “maintenance” light on the control panel when I try and start it. I have researched this forum and some people say this could be caused by a bad ground wire. I have put in a new ground wire and it is still not starting and the readout still displays “maintenance.”
Thoughts? Ideas? Seems to me that maybe there is a short in the system? Could it be the 5amp fuse issue?
Full disclosure - I am a teacher by trade and not Mr Handy when it comes to diagnostics, electrical meters, etc. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
