vyken Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Hello everyone, I bought 2014 Chaparral 21 Ski and Fish from Auction. I can not get ignition to turn on. I have some hanging wires on instrument panel and do no know what should be there (module or something else). I am new to boats and tried to search online but can not get any info. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dan02gt Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 The purple wire is the hot wire for the ignition, and it's normal for them to have unused connectors for adding more gauges. Make sure that the tether/kill switch on the controls is not flipped before digging into it to far. Also the throttle must be in neutral. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cyclops2 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 That steering wheel Says the boat has been left in salt & sun a lot. The cracks on the bottom of the plastic wheel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Water Dawg 6 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Really hard to tell by the pics man but that yellow wire with the green heat wrap on it looks like it goes to to the dark wire with the green heat wrap on the end. But again, too hard to tell by the pic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cyclops2 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Does the ignition key turn on anything in the dash ? HORN ? Is the big battery switch in the engine room turned on ? Is the battery still charged up to 12 volts ? We need some basic information . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
