Dead Dash on 2001 210

Rebuilt engine and have been trouble shooting an issue with my rpms limiting when trying to rev but today I went out to work on take off throttle cable to see if its the cable/PP but I have no power to my dash. I can hit the switch to turn on the bilge and that runs and my ballast pumps run but I don't get anything to the dash. Am I missing something simple or is this more of a long process to find the issue? Thanks for any input

Got my volt meter out and I have power at the plug that plugs into the keypad. Is there a way to test the keypad for issues or to see if its something different and is there a way to start this thing at all without having to order a new keypad????

You can send the keypad to Nautique and they’ll test it for you.

I'll take "check the stupid stuff that bites me in the butt on a regular basis" for $50 please.

Safety lanyard attached and working correctly? Since you have that meter out I'd ohm it out as well.

Agreed on checking simple stuff first. Faulty safety lanyard switches do exist.

As far as running things without the keypad, I do think that's been documented here. Some have wired in a hardwired system for ignition power and the starter in the event of a keypad failure. A hardwired hotwire, if you will. It's not super hard, search for keypad bypass maybe.

It was actually the fuse panel on the kick wall I call it by the drivers feet went bad and wasn't allowing things to power up correct. Sent it in to Nautique and they tested the key pad and the fuse panel for me. Great service and quick turnaround.
