Anyone know where I can find one?

Try Minkota website. Might try to google it if they don't have it.

I've tried both with no luck, parts diagrams yes, wiring no. I'll call Minn Kota tomorrow.

Justin, check with Jones Trolling Motors. He is a new sponsor on the CDC and has given good advise on the other fishing boards. I believe he can point you in the right direction.

That Fortrex is only a couple years old...

What's up with it...??

Rickie it blows the fuse in the head immediately when changing it. One side of the fuse holder has 13 volts on it and the other has gone to ground. Also something screwy is going on in the indicator light, when you unplug the (I'm guessing) ground it has 13 volts on it along with the feed side.

Brian thanks for the link. I called Jones and they explained to me what to check to figure out where the problem is. I'm impressed with their willingness to explain the circuitry and the trouble shooting to me, most places would've just told me to box it up and send it to them. We really do have some good site sponsors on this board.

John is a great guy. Always willing to help, and if you need parts he'll get them in your hand before you know it for a fair price. And he knows his stuff!

I want to say thanks to John at Jones trolling motors. He was spot on with his diagnosis.
