Help! No RPM reading port-side. No Crank. 2015 Yamaha AR 240

[CNofo]

First start of season was going to get it out of driveway. Noticed the throttles were stuck a little. Put them in neutral and fired up starboard just fine, but got nothing from port-side. I did hear a little faint sound, but after that it dissipated. Engine light says starboard however, but it’s port-side that’s dead. Before cranking I see no readings for RPMs on screen. Stumped on how to diagnose ignition switch, throttle cable. I have new batteries and were fully charged over winter. Super stumped and defeated

I also checked clean out hatch and disconnected and re-connect lanyard. I have over 12 volts on batteries and cranks start board just fine. I hope it’s not starter that all the down.

Agree, start by checking the basics. Are the throttles in neutral, is the lanyard plugged in, make sure the swim deck hatch is depressing both of the safety buttons/switches, if you are not sure tape a few coins to the area of the hatch above the buttons or move them up. Also make sure they are tightly mounted and not subject to moving when coming in context with the hatch.

I will continue with the switches on the hatch to see if I can get a signal to get it to crank. I was even curious if the throttle needed was preventing neutral position for port-side? I have never taken that apart to see.

Recently I saw a post of another member who reinstalled their batteries and overlooked one of the cables. I saw you mentioned you had new batteries. Hopefully it’s something simple as that.

I had installed batteries before last season was over and had no issues ending season. This is new. System control doesn’t show anything that I can see except I got zero RPMs and nothing going to port side engine.

Switches looked depressed fully. I saw that those switches control both engines. My starboard fired up just fine

 

[CNofo]

Fixed!! Yes. Turns out one of the red wires came loose behind my ignition key. Fired right up!!

I installed Ridesteady a couple years ago and it connect to ignition wire. My guess is red wire came loose and it is a push in.
