I diagnosed it by the manuel. Tested for the required OHMS of resistance. DONT get one from the dealer!! I use this place. Boat Motor recyclers 1-952-894-4888.
Great people with garanteed used parts. I have bought parts from them for a few years now and I cant even tell they r used....they look BRAND NEW!
