    Crazy electrical issues

    2010 21fx

    trim up does not work on front switch, blinker trim, or shifter. Works on the motor fine. Checked power and it's not the switches. Dealt with that crap through a tourney last weekend, and when I made it to weigh in, I turned the key off and the motor stayed running. Pulled the key out, and still running. Pulled the kill switch and stayed running. Had to disconnect fuel line and starve motor of fuel to get it to die. Help?!?!?!

    My first thought would be a bad ground wire someplace. I seem to remember a bad alternator can cause the motor to keep running, but I don't recall how. My guess would be a failed diode or regulator. What outboard do you have?

    When I first bought my 16 ZX250 mine did the same thing. My dealer, which wad 8 hours away, asked me too look being the shifter where the main harness plug is. It was just barely making contact. It is just a plug in system with nothing to keep it from pulling apart. I ended up putting a zip tie around the plugs to keep this from happening again and a year later with no issues.
