Desperately need help with my johnson 80

[wildlumberjack1983]

I recently bought a new ignition switch for my johnson 80 V4Al-19 and i wired it like the manual diagram says, but nothing happens, before i hooked up the switch, i could turn the engine over from the solenoid to the starter, but as i said with the switch hooked up nothing happens, So then i turned the ignition to the accesory position, and touched the solenoid to the starter and it made a pop like a fuse popped but i can only find one on my engine....is there another??....what did I do wrong???...Please Help...

There is only one fuse, a short 20 amp power fuse, located within a red wire a short distance from the starter solenoid.

Sounds like you wired the ignition switch wrong OR have the wrong ignition switch.

What are the terminals marked on the back of that switch, and what color are the wires that connect to it.
