My Minn Kota Edge 45 stopped on the weekend. When I got home I looked underneath the pedal at the wiring and discovered damaged wires that had shorted. Looks like the yellow wire terminal on the speed switch cut into the heavy black wire that goes between the ‘open’ terminal on the foot switch and the mom/off/cont switch. See photo below.
The wires are still attached and whole yet the motor won’t run so I’m thinking something fried in the short. How do I determine which of the three switches might be damaged? Or even if something in the motor was damaged?
i just replaced the speed switch a few months ago, which was pretty straight forward. No concerns replacing switches if I can determine which one was damaged.
cheers for any advice.
