Having trouble with my minn kota ddge 70. Replaced the Momentary switch and Mom-off-conn switch. I have power from batteries up to the motor but no power when I push to button.

welcome aboard.

since we cant see what you are working with or the repair you have done...... start at the beginning with a DVM and start troubleshooting.

It sounds like you have one of the old foot pedals. If that's the case, years ago the Minnkota guys finished working on my pedal. When they handed it back to me they said that every once in a while I should dip the whole pedal into the lake. It cleans out all of the dirt/sand/debris that gets in there. The pedal is made to get wet. Once I started doing that, I never had a problem with the pedal until the day I sold it.

On my older foot pedals, I never dipped it in the lake, , couldn't get myself to do it. But I did take it apart and clean up all the contacts, blew the whole thing out with compressed air. That did the trick.
