Hello,
I was just given a 96 GSX with a seized motor and a rear electrical box full of water. I freed the motor and checked compression (shockingly it had 162 165), replaced the starter solenoid as the post was corroded, the two smaller ring terminals that go the the battery cable post, and the battery cable lug. I have tried pressing the start button 5 times, I get nothing. The starter button does work. The MPEM is getting 12V and the front e-box has a good ground. All fuses are good. I tried replacing the MPEM with the Arieltec model and there were no changes (I did notice there are differences vs the stock unit, mainly wire locations and it is missing the white wire to the DESS). I've cleaned the DESS post and key. I've also been just pulling plugs and checking for continuity between wires and I haven't found any issues. I can also just the starter solenoid to turn crank the motor.
Any input or advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Cameron
