Why is my jet ski not turning over?

A jet ski not starting is most often a dead or weak battery. A bad starter relay can also be another reason for a jet ski not starting. Usually, when you hear multiple clicks from your jet ski, it’s a bad battery and if it’s one click it’s a bad starter relay.

Can you jump start a jet ski with a car battery?

If you jump start your jet ski, you risk damaging these parts, as boosting the battery can overload the system. Even though both jet skis and cars feature 12 V batteries, car batteries always have a much higher amperage that can damage the jet ski’s battery or electronics.

Understanding Sea-Doo's Beep Codes – AquaSportsPlanet

Understanding Sea-Doo’s Beep Codes Figuring out what your Sea-Doo’s beeping means can help save your life – you most certainly don’t want to ride it if it is beeping. It can also mean saved money in the long run, keeping your fun going. What do Sea Doo beep codes mean? Sea Doo beep codes are programming to tell you that something is wrong with your vessel. To find out the meaning of your Sea-Doo’s beep code, you’ll need to remember what was happening just before it started beeping. You’ll also want to note how long each beep lasts, as well as the frequency of repetition.  One beep could simply mean the shift lever was left in neutral position. But a longer or repetitive beep could point to a bigger motor problem. Always take note of the circumstances under which your PWC started beeping. And pay attention to the duration and interval of the beep codes. Keeping those two things in mind, along with the operator’s guide, you’ll know exactly what to do. The operator’s guide of your Sea-Doo’s model will help you to identify exactly what’s wrong and how to fix it. Sea-Doo Beep Codes: Safety First Sea-Doo, by Bombardier, has remained a top brand in the personal watercraft market for more than twenty years. Part of their success has been because the Sea-Doo focuses on one objective – providing a fun and reliable PWC – and they deliver it consistently. First, these jet skis don’t require much maintenance. And, if there’s anything wrong with your water vehicle, you’ll always know – before it’s too late. Sea-Doo invested in safety and preventative measures, and they’ve paid off. A big part of those measures is the beeping code system.  Nonetheless, first and foremost, prioritize your own safety. Don’t use your PWC until you know what’s wrong with it. If you can’t fix it, find a professional. Most technicians are familiar with Sea-Doo. Below is a brief guide about how to determine what the beep codes of your Sea-Doo mean.  The first thing you’ll need to identify is the model and year of your Jet Ski.   AquaSportsPlanet is an Amazon Associate.

How to Find the Model and Year of Your Jet Ski The Sea-Doos’ beeping codes change with the model and year of your PWC. To understand their beep codes, you’ll need to know your Sea-Doo’s model and year. Finding the model and year should be easy if you have the original documentation. The operator’s guide generally has the model and year of your Sea-Doo right on its cover. If you don’t have the documentation, you should also be able to see the model right on your jet ski. Frequently, you’ll find it on the right side of your PWC. If you see “GTX” in big letters, that’s the model. To find the year, look on the back of your PWC. You’ll see some numbers on the right side of the hull. The numbers can be in a metal plaque or engraved, or in a stamp (source).  If the numbers are in a plate or embedded, that’ll be the Hull Identification Number (HIN.) Its last two digits are your jet ski’s year. However, if they are in a stamp, you’ll see different numbers but only one year printed. It’ll be the only four-digit year in the stamp. Once you have that information, you’ll be able to access your operator’s guide if you…

Good Beeps but won't Start | Sea-Doo Forum

Good Beeps but won’t Start #1 I have a 96 GTX and I trying to get it ready for the season. I put the DESS Key on this morning and I got the two beeps but when I pressed the start button nothing happened. The guages all worked fine and the battery was on a maintainer all winter so I assume it is not a battery problem. Any suggestions on where I should start trouble shooting. Thanks in advance for any help. #2 Don’t assume anything when it comes to the electrical system of these things. Just because it was on a maintainer, does not make it good. If you have the resources available, put a vehicle beside your ski, then run jumper cables from the battery known to be good, to your jet ski. MAKE SURE YOUR VEHICLE ENGINE IS OFF, then try to start your ski from the vehicle battery. Getting two beeps and lighting up your gages, takes a tiny amount of power. The starter motor is the one most power hungry piece of equipment on any motor, due to their high torque. Your other choices are to remove the battery and take it to “Advanced Auto” or another parts house, and have the battery load tested. In general, these batteries only last one to 3 years. If your in a cold climate, like New York, the life span is twice as short than in Florida, unless you bring it inside a climate controlled area, such as a garage. Cold is the number one killer of batteries. Even if you got a maintainer on it, if your still storing this battery outdoors, chances are it’s dead. #3 Nothing worth doing is easy. The fix could not be just a bad battery. Hooking the ski up to my car battery did not work. I got the same symptoms. The engine makes no noise what so ever. The only sound I hear is the click of the start button. It is as if the starter is not getting a signal at all. #4 check the small ground going from the battery to the rear e-box. #5 check the small ground going from the battery to the rear e-box. Yep, been there done that, I spent several hours troubleshooting a few years ago, forgetting to hook this up. Lou #6 It should be hooked up to the negative terminal right? Is the a fuse in that box that might be blown. It looks like the wire goes into a cone on top of the e box. Is it safe to take the thing apart without damaging it? #7 Awwww.. I opened up the rear e-box and there is water in there. I have to dry it out and see how bad the damage is. Is it totally ruined now. Should I start looking for a new box and components or can it be dried out and still work. Any one else experience this. No sure how the water got in there the ski was covered all winter and it was running when I put it away. #8 well you probably killed your solenoid for sure. let it air out and check you connections. all is not lost :cheers: #9 Contact cleaner will help to disparate the water and clean the connections of any grease or oil residue. #10 What contact cleaner should I use. Is WD-40 the same thing. It disparates water also right? #11 True, WD-40 will disapate water. But it will leave behind an oil based coating. Contact cleaner actually evaporates and leaves no coating behind. Any Radio Shack and I would think all auto parts stores would have it. It will say CONTACT CLEANER right on the can. It is used for electronic connections. #12 Thanks…

Sea-Doo Fault Codes, Beep Codes and Their Fixes [List]

Sea-Doo Fault Codes, Beep Codes and Their Fixes [List]Sea-Doo beep codes are sounds that are never pleasant to hear. Even if you maintain your Sea-Doo carefully, over time problems may occur. When you hear the beep codes or see the fault messages on your dashboard you most likely start worrying right away. Is it a serious issue? Can you fix it? How can you diagnose the problem? The most important thing you can do is calm down, as beep codes and fault messages mean your craft is talking to you. Sometimes it’s just a simple issue, but it must be thoroughly investigated in any case! If you would like to understand Sea-Doo fault codes, fault messages, and beep codes, this post is for you. For your convenience, we at JetDrift have compiled all of them into this post. You can also learn what to do if they appear and how to eliminate them! What Do Sea-Doo Beep Codes Mean? Sea-Doo beep codes indicate that a minor or major malfunction has been detected by the system. These beep codes often come with fault messages on the dashboard for better understanding. The fault may be coming from the engine, exhaust, fuel line, iBR, or even the electronic system. As there have been many different Sea-Doo models released over the years, collecting the specific fault codes for each of them would be almost impossible. Thus, in this post we’ve collected the newest 4-stroke (4-TEC) Sea-Doo fault codes, beep codes and fault messages. As Sea-Doo has used 4-stroke engines with DESS keys for a long time now, your craft is likely powered with this type of power source. If you have an older model, beware that the vintage 2-stroke Sea-Doo beep codes can be completely different. That’s why you should refer to your Sea-Doo’s manual every time you notice a beep code or a fault message! Let’s dig deeper into these codes and learn what to do when they appear. Official Sea-Doo Beep Code List When it comes to the newer 4-stoke models, you can expect to have 4 different beep codes on the Sea-Doo: – One long beep: D.E.S.S. key or ECM issues – A 2-second beep every 15 minutes interval: Engine management system or iBR faults – A 2-second beep every 5 minutes interval: Low fuel or fuel sensor issues – Continuous beeps: Serious engine or exhaust system issues. Turn off the engine immediately! Let’s take a closer look at each code one-by-one. (Source: Official Sea-Doo Operator’s Guide) One long beep (while installing tether cord on watercraft engine cut-off switch) Bad D.E.S.S. system connection: Reinstall tether cord cap correctly on the engine cut-off switch. Wrong D.E.S.S. key: Use a tether cord that has been programmed for the watercraft. Defective D.E.S.S. key: Use another tether cord with programmed D.E.S.S. key. Defective engine cut-off switch: Refer to an authorized Sea-Doo dealer. Improper operation of ECM or defective wiring harness: Seek service from an authorized Sea-Doo Dealer or repair shop.

2006 rxp doesn't start – just the two beeps, no clicking, nothing

2006 rxp doesn’t start – just the two beeps, no clicking, nothing 09-03-2012, 12:43 AM #1 2006 rxp doesn’t start – just the two beeps, no clicking, nothing I wanted to make sure the problem really is the starter relay before I order one up. I had understood that if it was a relay, that it would click, while the start button was depressed. When I try to start the ski, nothing happens. no noise, no clicks, nothing. Just the two beeps when plugging in the key. I have candoo pro, so can see that the start button is registering when it is monitoring the ski. when I “short” the relay terminals, the starter cranks. Sounds like a relay problem, except it is only about 20 hours/1 year old. Is there a way to confirm that there is a proper signal from the MPEM to the relay when the start button is being pushed? When I unplug those two wires (purple and brown/yellow) from the relay, I get a long beep when I plug in the dess key, so I’m not sure what I’m supposed to see across those two terminals when I hit the start switch. It’s not so much the cost of the relay, it’s the time wasted waiting for it, then finding out there’s another problem. Any ideas on how to test that the signal from the start button is getting through to the relay? thanks. 09-03-2012, 08:54 AM #2 Get a voltmeter and test the connector that goes to the relay. In other models and pretty sure that in your’s the same you should have battery voltage on the relay conector. This way you will make sure if its the relay or the wires. 09-03-2012, 01:07 PM #3 so i tried to measure a couple of things. between purple wire (on wiring diagram is +12V) and battery ground, there is constant about 12.3V after inserting the DESS key. When pressing start button, nothing changes. between the two wires on that plug, purple and brown/yellow, there is 12.3V when the ski is powered up. When pressing start button, there is a voltage drop to about 11.8 V. This lasts until the fuel pump shuts off after the start button is released, then goes back up to 12.3V Is this proper behaviour for that plug? Thanks.

Not sure if the solenoid is a switched ground system, or a switched power, but according to the wiring diagram, the purple wire is a +12V, and the brown/yellow is a ground. When the DESS key is inserted, the purple wire goes live with 12V, and only drops slightly due to the fuel pump running momentarily when the start key is depressed. Likewise, the brown/yellow wire is always grounded, and doesn’t change when the start key is depressed. I’ve ordered up a solenoid anyway, as it would be good to have a spare around.

Official Sea-Doo Fault Code List [How to Read and Clear]

Official Sea-Doo Fault Code List [How to Read and Clear] | Let’s face it, Sea-Doo beep codes are never pleasant to hear since they always indicate a small or larger malfunction. Modern 4-TEC Sea-Doos come with an innovative dashboard that can display fault messages as well as error codes. If you would like to understand the various Sea-Doo beep codes, fault messages, and error codes, you’ve come to the right place. For your convenience, we at PowerSportsGuide have compiled all of them under one roof! What Do Sea-Doo Beep Codes Mean? Simply put, Sea-Doo beep codes indicate a malfunction has been detected by the ECU (main computer). On modern Sea-Doos, these beep codes usually come with a fault message or error code on the dash for better understanding. In contrast, vintage machines lacked any digital dashboard, so those Sea-Doos could only “communicate” via beep codes. As there have been a plethora of Sea-Doo models manufactured over the years, listing the specific beep codes for each model would be nearly impossible. Thus, in this post, you will only find the 4-stroke (4-TEC) Sea-Doo beep codes and fault messages/error codes. If you have a vintage model, beware that its beep codes could be completely different, so you should refer to your ski’s service manual to understand the message. Let’s get down to the nitty-gritty and talk about 4-TEC Sea-Doo beep codes in detail! If you have a modern 4-stroke Sea-Doo, you can expect to hear four different beep codes: One long beep: D.E.S.S. key or ECM issuesA 2-second beep every 15-minutes interval: Engine management system or iBR faultsA 2-second beep every 5-minutes interval: Low fuel or fuel sensor issuesContinuous beeps: Serious engine or exhaust system issues. Turn off the engine immediately! Let’s take a close look at each beep code one-by-one. (Source: Official Sea-Doo Operator’s Guide) 1. Sea-Doo Provides One Long Beep As a rule of thumb, if a Sea-Doo provides one long beep and won’t start it means there is a D.E.S.S. key issue. The most common D.E.S.S. key problems that generate one long beep are as follows: Bad D.E.S.S. system connection: Reinstall the tether cord cap correctly on the engine cut-offswitch.Wrong D.E.S.S. key: Use a tether cord that has been programmed for thewatercraft.Defective D.E.S.S. key: Use another tether cord with a programmed D.E.S.S. key.Defective engine cut-off switch: Refer to an authorized Sea-Doo dealer.Improper operation of ECM/MPEM or defective wiring harness: Seek service from an authorized Sea-Doo dealer or repair shop.Dried salt water in the tether cord cap: Clean the tether cord cap to remove salt water.Safety lanyard on switch for more than 10 minutes without starting the engine: Apply a slight pressure or remove and reinstall the safety lanyard on switch. 2. Sea-Doo Provides a 2-Second Beep at Intervals Every 15 Minutes The reasons why your Sea-Doo produces a 2-second beep every 15 minutes are likely as follows: Watercraft is upside down: Turn watercraft upright!Engine management system fault: Seek service from an authorized Sea-Doo dealer or repair shop.iBR system fault: Refer to an authorized Sea-Doo dealer. 3. Sea-Doo Provides a 2-Second Beep at Intervals Every 5 Minutes The reasons why your Sea-Doo produces a 2-second beep every 5 minutes…
