'92 60hp johnson - no power to ignition switch or tilt/trim

[Richard N.]

Pulled the boat home yesterday. Tilted the motor up to remove the transom saver, then tilted it back down (both times using the switch on the motor). Removed and cleaned all battery connections, then charged the batteries overnight. This morning all batteries are hot, but no power to ignition or tilt/trim anymore. I checked and I have power back to the motor, but nothing works. What's my next thing to check? If nothing else, I need to get the motor tilted back up in order to trailer it back to storage.

You sure you hooked the batt cables up correctly? I know it sounds like a stupid question, but it's been known to happen...

I mean, you removed all the cables (prior to that, all was good), hooked them back up, and now nothing works. Even if it was an issue with the ignition switch, the TNT switch on the motor would work...

Yep, all cables are hooked up correctly. Actually the only battery I didn't have to unhook for maintenance was the battery to the motor. I checked for power at the motor and it's there. Could a fried power pack cause this? Is there a fuse somewhere that I could have blown?

Found it. Half sized 20A glass fuse under the cowling just above the main harness.
