Welcome to the seadoo forum Fields. What year and model seadoo do you own? I can help you if you supply that information.

Not exact on the Year

I believe its 98 model its a GTX SEA DOO 5640 model # The other # ON THE hULL is ZZNH2271C696
Also I took the cmptr box apart up front and I do hear the small relay clicking when I hit the start/ stop button.
When I jumper the start relay in does turns over . The fellow i just bought it from gave me the registration card and it says 88 model. He installed a new motor last year and rode it approx 40 hours since then and stored it in the garage only to sell to me. I know it needs a battery but any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Hin....

That hull identification number you posted in your thread says your doo is a 1996 model.

Thank you for 1996 model info ,

I am new with seadoos , mechanically inclined but can not figure out what part is bad.

I would start by cleaning the Post on the safety lanyard. It is beeping and saying it isn't connecting to the Mpem(Multi Purpose Electronic Module) It needs to beep 2 times to let you know it is ready to start. Clean the post and cap with soapy water. Don't use any grease of lubricant on it as it needs a clean connection to make contact. Connect the lanyard to see if it is making a connection. 2 beeps and it's ready to fire up. You jumped the starter which means it has a good ground and positive connection. Keep us posted on your progress.

If ou are hearing a click in the electrical box, check to see if the click is from the starter silinoid. if so and jumping across the posts engages the starter you have a bad silinoid.

replace it and then give it a shot.

Thanks guys will try the washing procedure.

The click I hear is definetly coming out of the front electrical box. I can feel it click on when the start button is hit. There is definelty no noise coming from the rear where the start cylnoid is @ .

Does any recommend a particular web site that shows you schematics that allows you to pick replacements parts reasonable. I found one last night and was looking for the red/rubber start stop button but it wasnt there.

Thanks for the advise this a great site for beginners.

Cleaned the post with soapy water

still no good, same scenario .Whats my next step and can the post be rang out to see if its bad?

Sounds like a bad DESS cap.

Hit start/stop 5 times with lanyard off makes short and long beep. Hooked up lanyard noticed red oil light and red gas light no guages . When start button is hit short beep no starter engagement. Jumpered 12volts to side of relay starter turns over no fire at plugs though. checked all fuses they are good . Any advise?/

This is the first post, from what you say it sounds like the post isn't dirty but bad. 3, different points in the highlighted colors above. It needs a new lanyard cap as the old one isn't communicating to the Mpem( Multi Purpose Electronic Module). If you used someone else's lanyard it would do the same thing. If it was just dirty it should of worked.after it was cleaned...but it isn't so it needs to be replaced and reprogrammed. You have to go to a seadoo dealer to have it programed. Keep us posted.

Karl i cleaned it several times leaving a heavy

residue of soap and loh and behold it now works. Actually both my lanyards work now, I am charging a new battery right now but it fired so I am fairly sure it will crank now. Your help is very much appreciated.

Now a really silly question about my new toy , do you crank the SD before you hook the water up down below and remove the water before you turn it off to get all the water out. My other ski Yamahawk they recommend this, just wanted your thoughts.

Also since I know nothing about the SD I have read most all post on this site and it has been very enlighting. Thanks for all your help from a very greatful guy.

YES, you can hook up the hose to the seadoo and have them run for up to 5 minutes. Connect the hose and start the seadoo. Turn on the water after it is started. Turn off the water, than shut down the seadoo. This way it won't allow water to back flow into the engine through the exhaust due to no back pressure from the engine not running. The bearings and seals on the impeller jet pump, are cooled from being in the water. When it is on the trailer it doesn't have that cooling effect so they will get hot after about 5 minutes.
I pre start my seadoo's too, dry before I leave for the launch too. Just for a second or 2 to be sure it will start at launch. Peace of mind is worth lot.

I'm glad you got the dess to work for you. I think you were running out of options. It's hard to see everything your doing from just being on the forum...and not being there.
