Livewell Timer Question

[FDR80]

My 198's Hydro air and bilge pump aren't working on timer, they come on manual just fine. What is the fix for this.

If the bilge pump is on a timer you've got a serious problem.
If you mean the pump to the livewell, look under the dash and you will see a round device wire tied up there in the wiring. That is the timer. This is if you do not have a twist knob on the dash for timer control. If you do the timer is on the back of that twist knob.

On a serious note, I thought that mine wasn't working. The automatic timer on my livewell sometimes take a bit longer to come on. Have you allowed the pause time then check, sometimes you will think it is not comming on.

I had the same problem on my 06 198. Near the timer on mine is a fuse holder. Drop the switch panel look for the timer module and a fuse holder near by. I though I was going to have to replace the timer but a new fuse fixed the problem.
