98 XP possible electrical problem

[deckspotter]

So I had my battery on a trickle charger (the kind that stays connected to the battery full time, you just plug it in to the charger). Since my battery was still connected while it was charging, I put my key in to check the fuel. It beeped for a second then went completely dead. I traded batteries with the other ski and replaced all the CB's (they looked slightly corroded, but good) and still the same--dead. Any ideas? Did I fry something as AC power from my garage was connected to the battery AND the ski as I charged up the battery in the ski?

Check the fuses at mpem and the fuse, where the 2-fat red cables enter a box.

Is that the box that has the plug wires coming out? I looked in there but no obvious fuse

 

[timmyboy76]

yeah maybe. Where the 2-red cables go into, you'll see the rela. Bolted to relay, theres a fuse holder, doesnt look like one, but it is, and theres a 15amp in there.

No luck with any of the CBs, I checked and replaced them all and it's still dead. Did I fry something or did the key switch just decide it was time to die?

do you have a grey electrical box under the front storage cover, my 97 gtx had the mepm there and check the fuses.

 

[deckspotter]

No, I have a black electrical box under the front cover, but the mepm cb is on the opposite corner of the front storage area

 

[salmonkiller01]

check the fuses right on the mepm, i think there are 2.

 

[deckspotter]

I checked all three fuses on the mepm (there are actually 6, but 3 are spares). Also checked the fuses in the coil housing. Does anyone think I fried my mepm?

 

[timmyboy76]

sounds like you fried it...

 

[deckspotter]

Is there any way to test it?
