Dash warning led light connection point
Does anyone know where to connect a set of dash warning lights for mercury stern drive. Previously had a fountain that had red warning lights that would go off when I hit rev limiter etc..and want to hook up the same on a new boat.
|
Need more info to answer the question, as in which warning lights?
Most have 12V on one side and a ground turns them ON. Such as low Oil pressure light. When oil pressure gets low the low oil switch grounds the other side of the light |
On my previous boat with 496 HO's all warning alerts would cause the lights to come on, there are a pair of lights on the dash(one for each motor), rev limiter and all warnings. looking for the trigger wires to do the same on my new boat.

What motors/ECM do you have?
|
565's

The good is that motor has a lot of sensors on it and the PCM will sound the alarm when needed.
I don't have a wiring diagram for the motor so unable to know which pins do what. Could parallel wire a LED with the alarm so there is a light that turns ON when it sounds |

I used the alarm pieper to connect a light on this wire. If the alarm sounds the light are on.
|
I've added LEDs in parallel to the warning horn wires. Easy and effective.
