Hello,
I hope someone can help. I have an 89 Evinrude 150 xp. I changed the ignition switch, solenoid, and neutral switch. The only fuse I could find tested good with my ohm meter. Is there a fuse I am missing?
Thanks

T&T usually works on it's own ...if you located the t&T issue the rest should follow imho anyway

inspect all connectors... twist and turn the wiring for a reaction while activating T&T
check harness bends

check 12v .... coming out of the fuse socket

Hello and thanks for the advice. It turns out it was the fuse. Apparently a fuse can test good with an ohm meter but as soon as a load is applied it fails. I feel embarrassed but live and learn.

true for one fuse but....

if the fuse tested good initially everything should have worked no ???

if a second fuse blew then the load is excessive somewhere... better find out where before you ar 10 miles out !

carry spares !

The new fuse worked and did not blow. I have 2 extra fuses in the boat now. The fuse did test good with ohm meter but not under load. If you put a tester with a light in it, no power on the other side of the fuse. It is weird.

I don't remember what the meter was set at. I just know the new fuse fixed it and I'll take it. LOL
