2002 ski nautique

Curiosity has gotten the better of me so here is what I see on mine.
When I enter my code, I hit start once. It lights like you show, and my radio comes on.
One more quick hit and my gauges come to life.
I push start longer and it fires off.

No code and I get the dash lights like you but nothing else. Just like you are showing.
I don’t have an ohm reader so I can’t give you voltages.
I wonder if you have a code somehow programmed in yours.
Just my thoughts.
I’m sorry you are struggling so much with this. A key would be nice sometimes.

Ok,so I spoke to the nautique dealer and they said my PDM (breaker box) is locked out. I'm not getting a volts reading from the other wires because the keypad sends data back to PDM not power, thats why my multimete just dimly blinks when I test orange wire. I have to take the boat to nautique dealer so they can go in and program my PDM to new keypad. Fingers crossed thats all it is.

By the way what exactly is a PDM and what does PDM stand for?

Power distribution module... PDM, just looked it up

Just an FYI skier there are several threads on PlanetNautique where owners of 2000-2002 model years replaced their key pads with new ones right out of the box with no need to go to the dealer for any kind of programming. Since there seems to be space to store 3 codes the recommendation seems to be to use the original master code as the first entry to keep it “original” for future owners/trips to the dealer for service/repairs. I think a call to NautiqueParts is in order before a 2 hr trip to the dealer.

Yes, I am definitely going to contact nautique parts before I go, thing is my original keypad may not have been bad bc its doing the same thing the old one was, so the PDM losing the master code could have been the problem from the jump... it did sit many years with a bad battery up in Indiana.

Skier, do you have any update on your keypad? Thanks

Keypad backup or bypass

Worth a look?

Thanks Pete. Was in a hurry before work!

If you need to go with the workaround, it would be easy enough to turn the toggle switch and pushbutton into a keyswitch, then you'd have a key that you could put in your pocket.

That sounds so much easier and much more cost sensitive... lol

An added note, nautiqueparts customer service is excellent, they flashed and tested my parts free of charge. Although I bought a keypad from them, I still think they went above and beyond to help out!

Could put a keyed battery kill switch in the battery box. It wouldn’t be impervious to theft, but nothing is.
