Ignition problem

[Flashback]

New to the forum,am trying to diagnose what seems to be a popular topic,no voltage to ignition on white wire,2009 115df,what's the trick to getting the control cable connector apart at engine,special tool?,thanks

Tricky little devils, those connectors. Some you push in the tab, others you pull it out. You'll just have to figure out which. But no tools are required. Also, sometimes it's a little hard to figure out which side is the male connector and which is the female. (That last observation is not to be construed as political)

Can you elaborate a bit more on your problem. If you wanted to disconnect the plug, one would assume you had battery voltage on one side of the plug and not the other.

No voltage to white at helm,fuses at engine good,I'm thinking to isolate white at helm and engine connector check continuity of white wire,also after looking in the seloc manual I assumed voltage on white wire comes from the engine after turning battery switch to on,is this incorrect,thanks for any help.Tim

Check and make sure you have no voltage at the main plug where the white ignition wire is first, if there is battery voltage there, check the other side and then go forward. If there is no voltage there then work back towards the starter there is a fifteen amp fuse in series with the white feed wire, not where the thirty and sixty amp fuse block is.

Thank you sirs I'll give it a try

The white wire at the engine is basically the end of the circuit
Check at the dash where the power comes from the battery and back to the battery More than likely there is a bad spice

ignition update,after some wire tracing I did find the fuse to the white wire at the battery which is under the center console on my twin engine SeaCat,however after further checking found the 16 pin connector inside engine cover was badly corroded to the point the white pin,and pin feeding tach had broken off clean,my solution for now was to remove connector ,used heat shrink bullet connectors to splice the sixteen wires back together engine works fine now,thanks for everyone's help

Very good feedback...
this is the first I have heard this connection has been bad..

I have a '06 175 that sees a lot of salt water.. and so far, knock on wood!, the connectors at the engine are not showing any corrosion ..

Thanks
