1999 GTi Deadm in the water

[1999bombadier]

Last year it died flat out while my son was riding. Put it up wet. Time to ride again. Won't beep, won't click, no gauge action, nothing. From what I've read so far, I think the first thing is check fuses. I need a little guidance here. What fuses? How to find them? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Be patient

Don't worry....someone always answers. It might just take time. You may want to add any more information. I can't help...but would probably want to know more...to at least troubleshoot.:hat:

I posted the response below a few weeks ago hope it helps



Ive Just had a simular problem, but on my GTX limited (absolutly dead).

Checked all the usual things, after 2 hours of electrical testing front to back of the jetski. I found a loose pin on a connector plug going into the box where the solenoid is,that was it, fired up staright away.

So my suggestion is , check every pin in every plug, tug the wire from the back ( gently). look inside the plug, check the prongs arent pushed back.
Its a long boring job,but it might be worth a shot.

pull the seat off, and open front compartment, and pull the storage bin out too. Then check/follow where the loom of wires go, and you'll eventually find the fuse box/s. Also, where the box that has red cables coming out of, remove that lid, and inspect the fuse in there, should be a 15amp, AND ONLY 15AMP, if popped, dont put larger one in.

not hearing any beeps no matter what I do. Even tested speaker...it works when it sees voltage. bought new lanyard cap thinking that mya be bad. even though needs programming, thought at least I couod hear beeps...nothing. Checked continuity of post with and without cap on according to procedure in SD manual....all good. Starting to suspect post (even though ohmed good..Is there a chip in there too?) or MPEM. Can I take the MPEM in to a dealer to get it checked?

Thanks to all so far for your good advice. I appreciate it.
