Thank you for the informative video. I've been in equipment and vehicle repairs and servicing since 1968. Last week a friend brought me his fishing boat where the trailer had a few issues with lights and a failed wheel bearing, and he stated the engine was 'erratic' in starting. The trailer is taken care of, but I wanted to know about the ignition switch BEFORE I started any troubleshooting. The switch wiring let me know EXACTLY what I wanted to know! Thanks! 😁
Thanks for the video. My switch just went out this weekend. I was able to turn to run and jump the solenoid to start. My switch looks like that but all of the parts diagram says it a different one. It currently has the round pin like yours. I got a question though and I can’t find it on the diagrams. Do you know what that little round thing above the switch is with 2 wires is that you see with the cover off?
Hello Thanks for the tutoriel.. .. i have a problem.. i enter my data with cs pro i have make a checkboxfield so that reach participant can take more Thank one option….but the way its that when i transfert the file in spss the application cant understand it, for example spss suppose to understand that 1 is to …..,2 is to .. …,3 is to … ,etc … so when a participant choose may be 1,2 and 3 …spss understand 123 and not the value of 1.. ,of 2 and of 3… so i am really lost because i have more than 1000 participants . I aspect u can propose me a solution Thank you in advance !
Check for parts first. My part came with the wiring already plugged into a clip that simply unclips from the harness and clips right back in without having to pull most of the wires. There is a yellow wire with a red stripe that goes somewhere else (not part of the clip that goes into the harness, but still part of the ignition switch. Not sure where they go or what they are for, but just unplug from the old unit and plug into the new unit. My problem on my 2012 115 hp E-tec is that the nylon threads don't hold long and it is easy to strip. If you tighten the bolt too tight you can crack the unit. In my case, it started randomly shorting out the main engine fuse. Took a while to figure out what was causing the issue.
I had the same exact problem… the other thing is when I turn the key to the start position I’m only getting about 8 volts.. I have 12 at the red wire..
Oh I have something that sounds the same. Battery and starter and solenoid were a bit shot so replaced them. Only getting 9.8V to the power pack and service manual says it needs 11 volts minimum. Last thing they suggest is the switch. I’m getting like 1 ohms between the starter pins (red and purple for Memory). Anyone know what the expected resistance would be?
Kudos, Bud. Absolutely brilliant! I'm in process of replacing my BRP etec 90 ignition switch, and you pretty much nailed it all the way through. Thank you!
So gald I stumbled across this video, I just bought a used boat with a Johnson BRP ignition and of course no owner or user manuals, you just answered a bunch of my questions and questions I didn't know I had yet and I don't have to change my ignition switch like I thought I had to. Thank You!
Sure thing! It's tricky at first, but you'll get the hang of it. Hold the clip in one hand with the open end facing away from you. The side with the broader lip should be on top. With the other hand, use your thumb to push in and hold the spring-loaded center of the ignition switch (the round part where the key goes). Keep pressure on the ignition switch to keep it fully depressed while you work the safety clip onto the ignition housing. It will snap into a groove around the outer edge of the ignition body, and that broad lip around the top of the clip will take the place of your thumb and hold the spring-loaded middle part in the compressed position. That's it. You're ready to go boating! Be safe out there and thanks for watching.
