1991 Top Gun Wiring question
#14
Working behind dash on 91 Top Gun checking fuel guage with ohom meter. Must have shorted something, no power to stbd key or guages. Check master breaker and breaker on engine, all fuses below steering wheel. All good, is there another inline fuse leading to the key switch? Left ignition key has power but not right ignition key. What am I missing ?

Kvogt, I've looked at the fuses on the circuit panel in the dash console under the steering wheel. all fuses are good. Power coming into and out of the fuses. There is no power coming from the ignition key orange or purple wires. All the fuses have numbers by them but I don't have a wiring diagram to identify. Which fuses are for the ignition. I have power to the left key but not to the right key. I was checking the right fuel gauage with a ohom meter when I realized I loss power to that side. That's why I feel like there must be a fuse on the ignition side somewhere.

Go back to engine and see if you have power at 40 or 50 amp circuit breaker on the engine (both in and out of the breaker). If it is a trs boat it will be located near the round plug and the slave solenoid.
Also check at the alternator ( 4 wire ) if there is a fusable link on the big orange or red wire.
Note : The fuse under the dash should have blown before either one of these other safeties.

I am surprised that no one mentioned the neutral safety switch. Make sure your shifters are in neutral or that you have not shorted or damaged a connection . you can jump the line and it will solve it if that is the issue.

you would still have power to the gauges and such. neutral safety is on the start side of the switch not main power feed in
