    Question A friends Nitro issue

    i stopped by a friends shop this afternoon as I saw him and his friends out working on his boat. He has just purchased a Nitro Z9. Don't know what year, but looks like 10 or newer. He is having a problem of not getting power to his main power switch on the console. He stated that the main power to the console comes thru what they call a brain. He has power to the brain but not out. He has called Nitro & tried calling the manufacturer - who has went out of business - and got nowhere other than the fact a new brain is $1400.00.
    I have a 2006 210 Procraft with the same style of soft touch keypad & was told I also have basically the same setup.
    Ok. Does anyone out there have a fix or a schematic for this unit/brain or whatever? He also stated that there is only 4 wires or so coming from the back of the keypad module. Can anyone explain to me how this works? I mean when I press on a button - say Livewell recir. pmp - which also has 3 lights - which I assume is basically a timer --- and there is no wire coming from the switch to said pump. What gives. Someone explain to me has this works. If it is not hardwired, is it a wireless signal?? .....to the brain??

    Its nice when all of this stuff works, but when it doesn't work, Gheez.

    Thanks ahead.
    Very confused.

    Pumps are wired. Is he getting no lights? The nylon multi pin connectors can come loose. Look under the console for these.

    Well. Found out today how to reset the brain. That is taking ground wire off of brain at connection and leaving off for at least 10 minutes. This should reset unit. Hope it works.

    What and where is this “brain”? Not sure what you are referring to there.
