Welcome to iboats.<br />We need a little more info.<br />Is this a Mercury Force or a Chrysler Force?<br />Year, model, serial number of motor, (several different ignition systems were used).<br />Also, make sure the kill switch is in the run position.<br /><br />Could be several other things, but will need to know the year/model.

Possibly the key switch, check for continuity between the two terminals labeled "M" on the back of the switch. Check it with the key off (continuity) , and on ( no continuity).<br /><br />If box is new and functional, and kill switch is in the run position, I would then check the rectifier, stator, and the trigger for a signal.<br /><br />A Clymer repair manual outlines the test procedures pretty well.
