Welcome to the forum....

If your looking for another motor, you can find one for about $850 bucks with a core charge.
By hooking up your jumper cables backwards, you supplied 24 volts to your system, popping every fuse along the way I'm sure.
You said you replaced them and got two beeps.
You really need to charge a battery if you can and don't jump it, especially in troubleshooting......but with a fully charged battery and the lanyard cap off, push the start/stop button 5 times. You should hear a short beed and a long beep. Then, put your cap on and push the button. If you hear more beeps, count them and re-post.
There is a good chance you fried your mpem, but even then, the beeps should say so........
BTW, please don't type in all caps....we can deal with the typos and bad grammar, but no need to type in all caps (you know in computer language, that means your screaming at us.)

Well installed new battery check wiring replaced fuses 5 as,p was blown to compter ?(up frt) also found mt trim vts motor frozen and the fuse keep blowing in the back by the starter selanoid the second one in series 10 amp?and i plugged another vts from my xp , no more blown fuse , this is a great forum i have found so many tips here but i still have nothing? did the 5 pushes before cap is installed and no beeps no clicks if i jump across selanoid motor cranks over nothing on dash?
3is there any fuses any where inline or just in boxes frt and rear and is there a wiring diagram i can obtain to see that i have power up to the frt or at gauges and should i remove gauge cluster to check power behind and or any fuses?

SO your 5 amp fuse is holding now? what you describe is a common problem I have knowledge of. Check the 5 amp fuse again and let us know if it is popped.

Thanks...

Wiring....

Most of the info on your GSX is going to be in the "supplemental" manual. Including your wiring diaghram.
Hell, fogot what I was going to say, had to go back out.
Your advanced test sounds like your system is o.k.
Without the lanyard key on the post, you push the start/stop button 5 times and you should hear a long and short beep. Then, put the cap on the post. If you get no more beeps, that's suppose to mean that all is well and the motor should start.

5 amp is great

push button test i have nothing ok i have done the the fuse hseck i have the diagrams and i am now looking for voltage at the different test spots diagram is very confusing but i do have vts trim all my fuses are solid but i ahve nothing at info screen no beeps nothing? i must have fried a main ground or power wire studying diagrams now and i need to do some voltage drop test see where the bad wire is my info center should have something ? and from what i read i have seen nothing to indicate that i just have a bad module.
did i mention that the old vts keep lowing fuse and when i plugged the one from my 1996 x/p i do not blow a fuse but still have no power at info center with either is there any one module or comuter that would stop me from seing any ights any beeps??? ( i need a beverage) :cheers: iim in new york and glad i have lots of time n=before i pile on the wet suit ! have a good night gentlemen
