Trouble starting engine

[ninedriver]

Man, I'm glad to hear it turned out to be the ignition switch. Keep us posted if that does in fact cure your problems. Having an 08 LSV myself, I'm wondering if it's just a matter of time for me....

Also, Rakkasan, exactly what wires did you jump? (if you're able to, a pic would be helpful) And after jumping, did you still turn the key to start? I'd like to be prepared if this ever happens to me on the lake. Thanks.

I got this from another thread.

"red = power
purple = ignition/fuel pump
yellow w/red stripe = starter

So hold the red and purple wires together and you will hear the normal start up beeps, then touch the yellow wire to the group to turn the starter over."

It's a little different on ours because the ignition switch is connected by a Deutsche plug versus separate wires. I just unplugged it and jump the wires with some spare wire I had in the same order as above.

This completely bypasses the switch and you don't have to turn the key if jumping the wires as the switch is no longer connected.

Awesome. Thanks a lot!

Glad you got it going!

Got the new switch in the mail and had it installed in about a minute. It's a lot tighter than the old one and could really tell the difference. Turned the key and it fired up in an instant. It cost a little more than it should I think about $46 but I didn't want the cut the plug and rewire it so....

Also got a new tach because the old one had an error code that the dealer said couldn't be cleared and would need to be replaced. The tach worked fine but because of the code I would have to keep track of my hours by hand. Just for piece of mind we got a new one think the wife said about $180 for the tach but still waiting on the invoice.
If anyone needs a tach that works but has an Error 1 where the digital hrs meters is let me know.

I might have waited a couple of years to put the new one in.

I would have but every time I saw that error message it messed with my peace of mind.

Where did you get your switch from? I cannot find anywhere online that sells these switches. I had a moomba part # 109407 but I cannot locate that either.
