Replaced wiring harness...won't start

Re: Replaced wiring harness...won't start

the first time i had my ignition sw out i pulled that out to to help lengthen the wires a bit and i didnt put that little plastic thing back in and i guess it grounded or something and blared all the time till i took it apart.

ive read other threads about troubleshooting the horns and temp senders but ive read so many they are starting to blurrrr. i cant even remember which site i read them on. i was on another site for a while then i found this one im sure you know the one im speaking of.

they are both great sites and very helpful but this one seems to be a little faster paced. you might try doing a search for the threads on the subject. i wouldnt want to lead you in the wrong direction. it seems like when i priced a horn for mine it was $50-$60.

sorry not much help on this subject, and sorry for responding a little slow. i cant type, my fingers are too big and hit too many buttons, i hunt and peck

hope you find your answers and have a good weekend on your boat.

i cant get my computer to zoom on your diagram so i went to shop.evinrude.com and lokked it up and its a "insulator,horn to cover" #61 on the diagram.

:redface:i couldnt explain to you why i left mine out but that was what my prob was.
but you might want to research a little further maybe even start a new thread about the horn cause it shouldnt go off as soon as you turn on key.

sorry not much help.

when we were talking about your tach wires you were referring to #1 and #50 right?
