2000 challenger wiring

[babarrryba]

Hi! I am trying to put back wiring on my 2000 challenger and having a problem with wiring diagram. Bought the thing apart and so far got started and running. Just instruments and rest of the wiring is apart still. I was able to purchase service manual through tradebit, but I think wiring diagram is incomplete. Any one has complete wiring diagram I can get hands on? All switches on the wiring diagram got four contacts and I got new switches with three contacts only with the purchase of the boat. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance to any one willing to help me.
12/14/2016 - Update. Got wiring info and last night I was able identify what I have. Unfortunately original instruments are shoot. I am getting Faria brand instruments and would like replace originals. (So far I am not able get original instruments so I can just plug them in as they are obsolete). Any one have experience how to wire new ones? I am assuming originals are paired with sending units. Do I have to start replacing sending units to pair new instruments as well? Mostly problem will be fuel gage, low oil gage and maybe RPM gage. Any input is appreciated.

Hey Sorry if I am being dense. Do you have a challenger 2000 (20 foot boat with merc engine) or 2000 challenger (year 2000, 15 foot boat with rotax engine(s)). if its the challenger 2000 what year is it? I have a couple pdfs of manuals I can send you. let me know and I'll see if I have something I can send you.

If I remember correctly on the challenger 2000 each switch has 2 wires for the switch and then 2 wires for the dimmable backlighting. I am not an expert so I could be wrong

Hi Lumps, I believe you are correct from wiring diagram I have. Two contacts are switching and other two are LED light with resistor. I have 20' Challenger 2000 with Mercury EFI V6 240HP.

I have a couple of the manuals for those. I think I have 2000 and 2001.5. I'll check tonight afterwork

Great! I believe you know what frustration it is if you cannot find the right diagram. I really appreciate your help.

BTW. I think I know what your issue with your current diagram is. The merc boats have two manuals with wiring diagrams. One for the seadoo part and one for the engine
