Trim and motor don't start

[jmlg]

97 Johnson 90 HP.<br />The trim does not work and the engine don't start when I turn the key.<br />I changed the battery, I put new (good) cables and new battery connection system and it still does not work. I just hear a clicking noise in one of the trim relays.<br />Is it possible that a trim relay problem could affect the motor start. <br />I thank you in advance for your help<br />Bye

Re: Trim and motor don't start

Do you get a solenoid click when you try to start, JMLG?<br /><br />I see 2 possibilities: Blown fuse or poor power connections.<br /><br />Your Repair Manual will show you where to look for the fuse. It will be 20 to 40 amps.<br /><br />Take off and clean all power cables, with particular attention to where the battery ground cable connects to the engine block.<br /><br />Let us know what results you get and some more info on your symptoms if you haven't gotten her working.<br /><br />Good luck.

Re: Trim and motor don't start

Thank you very much for your advice<br />I went to the boat today and I bypassed the kill switch which brought the trim back to correct working. So it means I had, as you mentioned, poor connecions somewhere.<br />The problem is now a little different because when I try to start I instantly kill my 20A fuse. So I am a bit disappointed but I trust you to help fixing my problem<br />Thank you very much
