Weird one this season. No beep when engage either key. No click. No start. But I can jump across the solenoid, and it will kick. It is acting like a fuse or dess, but I bet y'all know other potential problems. I searched and didn't find a thread that fit, but feel free to refer me. Thanks.
Troubleshooting so far: I checked dess post, and it has continuity correct all 3 wires to the connector just above the gas tank (I replaced this a few years ago). I replaced battery. I checked voltage to solenoid and to fuse box. All fuses look good (ever had one blow that still looks good?). No corroded wire connections that I've found (I spray corrosion spray during winterization). I banged a bit on the dess and the solenoid in case they were stuck.
Could a bad solenoid or a bad relay cause no response from dess? My gauges have been intermittent for several years now, but my beeper hasn't failed me (at least thru last year).
Any troubleshooting ideas that could help me narrow my search? I hate electrical problems - I'm bad at them. Thanks again
