06 supreme with scorpion 5.7 won't start. Ideas?
Working on a the boat mentioned above and won't start.
Had the starter bench tested and its dead. Installed a new one and and still won't start.
I'm positive its not the neutral safety switch because when I turn the key over I hear a click in the back.
When the the throttle in ingaged the click from the back stops.
I know the starter is good because I can jump the starter to start the boat.
The click is coming from a relay located above the v-drive next to a reset button I'm assuming for a engine or ecm fault. Its not tripped.
Thoughts?

So just to be clear, the throttle lever was in neutral, but the slave cylinder on the transmission was keeping the boat from actually being in neutral, therefore the neutral safety switch wouldn't let the boat start?

Dat interesting right thar..Back in the 90s, we called them thar Fords Starter solinoids and they were mounted on the fender, and when you wanted to bump the engine with out using the key you would short the contacts with a screwdriver.
Also it was a high fail part in the car and made easy money at the Dealership for no start no crank issues. I replaced a ton and broke a few myself LOLMalo <--- Means--Evil or Mean One. This explains a lot.

Yes, they are still called solenoids. Ford did like to put them on the fender, but Chevies have had them on the starter for a long time.
