|
|
Not a wakeboat, but maybe someone knows something.
(2003 seadoo gti)
started out the other day as a low battery.
threw it on the charger when i got home.
went out the next day, while starting at the boat launch it struggled as a low battery would. Never got it running.
The struggle turned into a click and a buzz, sounding like the starter wasn't engaging. But I had the same sound when my last battery called it quits.
Took it home again on the charger, still could not get more then a buzz.
Hooked my car battery up, again just a buzz.
Got ready to start getting at the starter, but decided to give it one more shot.
Now no key beeps, no gauges, nothing.
checked fuse in line from battery, and the 4 in the fuse box. Am i missing another fuse? to get my key beeps back?
Battery shows fine on the load test.
Starter? blown fuse(s), frustrated.
help
Thanks, |

You would be better off posting this question on the Seadoo forum board,
www.jetboating.net/jetboating/main/main.aspx. there's a GregZ over there that pretty much knows Seadoos in and out.
hope this helps you |

sounds like a dead battery, or corrosion in the wires or a bad ground. _________________ trying to find a $5-7K usable saltare if anyone knows of one. |

| I was gonna say bad ground as well. FOllow your negative wire and make sure everythings tight. give your terminals a bath is baking soda water and wire brush them off. |

ok clean the battery connections first
clean the dess key with a pencil eraser
then charge battery overnight
if it still clicks and buzz either bad cables or battery _________________ HUMAN BUILT = HUMAN FIXED
