Welcome to iboats.<br /><br />Many public libraries have manuals. Give yours a try. That device isn't testable with regualrly available stuff. But the components that feed it can be tested with a conventional multimeter. The manual will show how to test them and what kind of readings you should get. If all the components test good, then it is logical to deduce that the switchbox (that's what Mercury calls it) is bad.<br /><br />Good luck and keep posting.
