Just bought a 1999 196 and the previous owner had installed new gauges. My problem is the ignition light is staying on. Right now there is a the big red power wire and the black indicator light wire hooked to the right side of the switch/breaker, and the red wires that loop to the next switch/breaker hooked to the left side.
Does any know if that is right? I'm suspicous something is mis-wired. Also if anywon has access to a wiring diagram I would be extremely grateful. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help! Regards, Richard |

Richard,
The breaker daisy chain for the hot feed sounds normal but get us some pictures. The black would be the ground for the indicator lights. How about getting the VOM out and getting us some voltage readings with both the engine running and not. Take them first at the battery. |

Richard,
The link to my email is in my profile. What problems are you having with posting pictures? Use the "post reply" and not the quick that's at the bottom of each thread. Click on the tree with the up arrow icon and a browse box will come up. |

Hey Peter, not having much luck on my end. Can't seem to get pictures to load. I added the file via the "arrow tree" icon and I am getting a box that states to be patient while picture loads but nothing every loads. Also went ot your profile and tried to send you an email, but there is no option to attach pictures via this sites email system. Sorry, cant get things to work, I have the photos on my phone and my computer buy unfortunately I cnat seem to get them on the site.
Regards, Richard |

I always have to push the OK button on the be patient dialog box. Once you push OK, then wait for the picture to load. It loads as a script, not as a picture in your post reply box, so you won't see it until you preview or post your reply. |
