My boat has twin 1997 vintage cummins 350C engines with just under 3000 hrs….all stock Cummins marine Panels and harnesses.. I guess the marine age/low maintenance/no maintenance is catching up as I went to start the port motor – turned key , nothing.. There is 12.5 volts where the red wire attaches to the key switch. .the Purple wires have no juice.. If I remove the purple wires from the other terminal on the key switch, than there is 12.5 volts at the other terminal when the key is on.. so there must be a ground problem in the purple circuit?? if I tie open the fuel solenoid and jump from the keyswitch to the yellow red stripe wire , the motor starts and runs fine.. the surprising thing to me is that if I touch a 12v + lead from a different battery to the red wire terminal, the panel works as does the upper panel.. looking at the diagram, the purple flows to the upper panel and then to the fuel solenoid and the ‘replaceable diodes’… Can anyone give me an idea of where to start looking/replacing..? Question 2: Looking at the diagram, what are the ‘replaceable diodes’? where are they?
Thank you, Tim
