The Seadoo parts catalog calls them a "buzzer", but they are commonly known as "beepers" and they actually beep and do not buzz. So that's why I titled it with both words.
In another thread, someone said that 97% of these Beepers are bad. Mine gives me no sound at all when the machine is turned on. I do get a visual readout from the Information Center gauge, and the Seadoo has turned over a couple of times (but since then it has stopped and I don't know why yet).
I wonder if it's the MPEP thing (the computer, the brain, the big black box in the front). So keeping the door open to that possibility, I don't want to replace a good Beeper without being certain that it's bad.
How do I know for certain that it's bad. I put 12 VDC directly to the Beeper from a 12V battery and got nothing. Was that definitive? Did I possibly destroy a good Beeper? I disconnected the connector for the Beeper at the front of the machine (above the gas tank) and measured continuity from one side to the other and it read short, which tells me that both wires are good and I would expect a buzzer to read short since it's a component that works on a inductor (coil), and they would read short.
Is all of this sound reasoning?
