I have a 1990 120 force . It has power to solonoid but does not have any going to ignition . It has power going into the block on the red wire leading in but no other wires . I checked all blade fuses GOOD . The Circuit breaker has power coming and going . If you jump across the solonoid ( the 2 big lugs )the starters kicks over . Neither small post on solonoid have power . THE kill switch is hooked up and all wires have not been tampered with . the bilge won't power up or the lights or anything else . No Power going forward . No power at the fuse Block . Wires going forward Have no damage or corrosion . The motor is a very low hour Freshwater only Motor . had been sitting for 2 years but no moisture anywhere . ? This one has me stumped .

Is there any power at the ignition switch?

I would check the main harness connector. (back by the engine). Maybe just a bad connection due to corrosion?:confused:

one of leads at switch should have constant power.
if none of wires at switch have power then that is problem. correct method of fixing problem is to trace wire back and find out where connection is lost. could be deadman switch, could be inline fuse, could be unswitched fuse in fuesbox, could be corrodded connection, could be a million different things.

pull out manual and identify which wire should have 24x7 voltage. go to switch and double check voltage. if no voltage at switch then start tracing wire back towards battery one connection point at a time.
