Thread: Lost power to ignition and both trim switches

Hope it's ok to post this here! I was installing new trim switch to throttle control and had it working. Cranked motor and checked kill switch. Motor stopped. Reset kill switch tried to crank again and nothing. No trim power on throttle handle or on motor. No nothing. Depth finder shows 12 + volts. HELP!

If fuses are good, check your ground wire at the fuse box. I bumped mine one time while working on it and spent 2 hrs tracing wires. After checking the ground twice and visually making sure it was in, the third time I actually grabbed it and pushed and felt it click. Everything went to working. Although I felt a little dumb at that point, cause I have wired a couple boats from start to finish and should have known better, I now have a much better understanding of THAT boat...
