the outboard is a 2013 mercury 60 horse bigfoot, this is a 4 stroke EFI motor.
the motor has no crank at all and no tilt or trim, im testing the tilt and trim strictly from the motor and not on the hull. everytime you try using the tilt either up or down the relay clicks, sometimes when you crank a relay clicks, i havent ensured its the same one.
the fuel pump turns on when key goes to on position.
the starter solenoid is getting the full battery voltage on the "power in" side but none on the "power out" side when cranking which i figured it wouldnt. the signal wire does not get any voltage whatsoever but the ground itself seems to be good.
i tried tracing the signal wire from the starter solenoid and it ends up being a yellow and red wire, i tried tracing that and i cant find it on the other end but the harness that the wire ends up in goes to the same relay as the tilt and trim are on.
im going to ensure all connections from the battery to the motor aswell as anything on the starter circuit or secure aswell as clean, and i plan on swapping relays on the motor to see if that fixes the issue, aswell as seeing if the battery can handle a load properly.
if anyone has any ideas of what it may be aswell as any tests i should run please let me know!
i dont know how to test the relay itself other than getting it to click but it does click everysingle time so im not entirely sure. ill take a video and i will let you all know what happens.
