my omc 2.3 will not turn over with the key. I can junp the starter and it will start but the starter stays engaged until I take the negative battery cable off.
I suspect the assist selenoid for not disengaging but am not sure and suspect the ignition or a neurtal switch for not turning over with the key.
should I be using a meter on the yellow and red lead at the selonoid, where else to pin point why starter doesnt engage with key
Comments
the starter circuit starts at the key switch
then to the neutral safety switch in the control box
thru the cannon plug at the engine
to the slave solenoid on the engine
finally to the solenoid on top of the starter
a 12 volt test light or a meter will work
for troubleshooting
