Hello everyone. I have been having this issue with my starboard motor, when I insert the key and turn it to on and if I hear an audible beep then I can start the motor fine no issue. However if there is no beep then the motor just crank and not starting. What I have done so far: I have change the key switch, clean the connection be hind the dash where the harness go from the key to before it goes down to the engine compartment from the homWhat I have done so far: I have change the key switch, clean the connection with hind the dash where the harness go from the key to before it goes down to the engine compartment from the helm, I have inspected all the fuses on the engine block, and these are brand new battery I even switch the battery from the port motor to the starboard just to make sure. I check the fuse from the battery shut off. This audible beep started as intermittent then it becomes very normal and now it rarely beep anymore. Have anyone had this issue can you please point me to the right direction. The serial number for my motor is 4012113481. Thank you so much for the help

Sounds like a main power relay having intermittent issues. Easy test, just swap from other motor and see if the problem moves to the other motor

I have bought all new relay I will try it this weekend. The other fuse block is hard to get to so didn’t want to swap it. But might have to this weekend. I did some reading and look at diagrams and the auto bopeep is really responsible for oil pressure and such. my oil pressure might be grounded out or when bad and preventing the motor from starting. I might be wrong but I will try a voltage test if it is not the relays
