Thank you for taking the time to read this post and maybe help me out. I have a 1997 Ranger with a 150hp johnson motor, I went fishing and found the Ignition switch was broken. So I went by the boat shop and bought a new switch, they could not install the switch for two-three weeks so I decided to try it myself..............I took one wire off at a time and thought I placed it in the same spot but guess I didn't.
The next day I went fishing and turned the key and it fired right up. i was happy and ran across the lake to my fishing spot and went to kill the motor and...nothing, I could take the key out and the motor was still running. I decided to pull the kill switch and kill it and when I pulled it, nothing happened the motor kept running, I had to turn the gas tanks to off for it to die. I decided to look at the switch and see if I could rewire it on the water and now it cranks when I push the choke in. Does anyone know where I have crossed the wires at or would you please have a picture or something I could follow to wire this thing up the right way? Thank you very much.
