Sportys blower, bilge, and whatever else works but we can't get it to run into acc mode or start. We've tried the code that worked when we bought the boat. The code seems dead. The boat feels like it's in locked mode. Any advice? Is there a factory reset code? -Mike ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5009 - '90 Ski (sold) http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5479 - '00 Sport Mississippi River - Bellevue, IA |

First thought was the keypads dead due to it giving us trouble when it had gotten wet on the boats trip here. The green lights light on code number pushes though leading me to believe that the keypad is still okay... ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5009 - '90 Ski (sold) http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5479 - '00 Sport Mississippi River - Bellevue, IA |

Any dealer or the one the boat came from? And forgive me but what's NSS... Neutral Safety Switch? Forbsome reason I thought the boat would turn over with that still bad. It's a possibility though. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5009 - '90 Ski (sold) http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5479 - '00 Sport Mississippi River - Bellevue, IA |

The original dealer yes. I believe that's how they can test and service peoples boat w/o trying to remember everyones code. Yes,Neutral Safety Switch. Wiggle the throttle back and forth, after entering code for secound time and trying to start it. ------------- ...those who have fallen and those who will. |

Yes, the NSS is the neutral safety switch. Note the position of the NSS in the wiring diagram. It's not in the ignition circuit but rather in the start (crank) circuit.

Thanks for the help so far guys. Wish I didn't have to work today so I could mess with it. 1. I'm going to try to obtain the factory code for it today. (Original dealer?) 2. Check NSS 2. What about a bad battery? Haven't checked it yet, just assumed it was good because it was used a week ago with no issues + blower and bilge work fine (those don't take much juice though) 3. What does the kill switch do if it's not hooked up? Should the boat turn over/try to start? ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5009 - '90 Ski (sold) http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5479 - '00 Sport Mississippi River - Bellevue, IA |

Not sure if the MPEFI boats utilize the NSS in the same way that the simpler carb'd boats do, but if so, if the NSS will keep the engine from cranking at all (its in line with the 12v start signal coming from the ignition switch). The kill switch, if disconnected, will only keep the boat from starting. It will still crank (and crank and crank). If the '00-02 keypads are like the '03+ ones, then you can tell when the code has been accepted, without attempting to start the engine. It sounds like youre never getting to that point... so either you forgot your code, forgot how to enter it properly, or it somehow reset itself. I know the '03+ would not accept the keypad inputs if the bilge pump switch was in the incorrect position, but if youre getting a flash of light with each keystroke, then that doesnt sound like the problem. ------------- |

I know Scott!!! (yelling in agreement)  To our knowledge we are entering the correct code. Granted, we haven't used the code since the day we brought the boat home. It is however, the same code we used on that day. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5009 - '90 Ski (sold) http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5479 - '00 Sport Mississippi River - Bellevue, IA |

Hey scott, there are two green lights, one on the left of the code numbers and one on the right. The right one lights on number press.

If its like the '03+ version, that sounds normal... the 2nd light will illuminate once the correct code has been entered. Youre pressing the "start" button before and after entering the code, correct? I agree, that it sounds like youre entering the wrong code! You left the code entered all last year? So anyone could come up and start the boat at any time just by pressing the start button? Thats like leaving the keys in the ignition. ------------- |

Yes Tim, we never entered the code last year. The 90, for all 20 years we owned it never had it's key taken out of the ignition. Why? Wonder if our code got reset somehow. I'm not ruling out a completely dead battery cell either... ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5009 - '90 Ski (sold) http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5479 - '00 Sport Mississippi River - Bellevue, IA |

If the battery was dead dead, the lights wouldnt be lighting up at all, and the blower wouldnt run. You should be able to tell if the code got entered right (all ign driven accessories will come to life- gauges, etc) even if the engine wont crank. Still sounds like youre entering the code incorrectly! Its possible it reset itself... but dad's '03 never did, and he took the battery out every winter. So I sort of doubt it. Im in a remote town in a nice area... and generally dont have to worry about locking my doors either. But when the boat is on the lift all week while Im at work, I do go so far as to take the keys out. If yours is locked in the garage, I guess I can see that. I also take them out when the boats on the trailer... I worry about a little kid or a crazy person at the gas station wandering over to the boat and pressing the buttons while Im in the bathroom or some such nonsense. ------------- |

I thought the code was supposed to time out after so many hours of keypad not being touched. Wait, just double-checked. That only happens if you don't start the boat w/in 15min after first entering run mode w/out starting the engine. |

Thanks again for the help Got off the phone with a dealer (think its the one the boat came from) He started giving me the factory reset code for the boat and I finished it for him. It's the same code we've been trying. He votes for bad keypad beings we're entering the correct code. He gave me Larry Shay's (sp) contact info at some CC place somewhere. He indicates Larry is the electronics expert. Very odd that the keypad died sitting in the garage for a week. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5009 - '90 Ski (sold) http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5479 - '00 Sport Mississippi River - Bellevue, IA |

Mike, can't you bypass the keypad all together and just add an ignition button? It might not be the best long term fix, but will have you on the water cheaper and quicker than replacing the whole keypad. ------------- |

Deeper than the dash buttons. IIRC it's a digital signal transferred from the keypad to the control module (which verifies the code, flips relays to turn the ignition on, etc.). Hotwiring the keypad wires will do no good. All the accessories are turned on and off by relays in the control module. It's a pretty comprehensive system. Converting to a keyed ignition while still keeping the accessories working right via relay might be a somewhat big job but it's been done. ------------- 2000 SN GT40 w/99 Graphics/Gel 2016 SN 200 OB 5.3L DI https://forum.fifteenoff.com |

If you watch that video, the guy had already energized his dash, when he hit his backup starter button. I wonder if that back-up starter button is as simple as a constant hot (from battery etc.) > Horn type switch > to parallel wire to Starter relay/NSS In this case, the ignition relays would already be fired up, so this might not help Mike unless his dash will "wake up" but just not crank the starter. I agree, though, no sense hacking anything, just curious. |

I can send the keypad and PME (black plastic expensive thing) to Larry in FL and he can check both to see what the problem is. Don't want to pick up a 360 dollar part if we really need the 1500 dollar part........ouch  Also, called whitelake and talked to a nice lady who had just got off the phone with a guy named Jimmy who was asking about the exact same part for his 2000 ski as I was! I need to contact that guy and see what his deal is.

Exactly. If his keypad was totally hosed all this setup would do is crank the starter- the engine would never fire and the rest of the dash would be inoperable as well. I've often thought "Gee, what am I going to do when my 12-year-old keypad dies?". I'll probably just order a new one but it would be neat to figure out how to manually 1) wake up the rest of the dash/relay system for accessories and then 2)supply power to the engine computer/engine and 3) trigger the starter. #2 and #3 are probably simple to do but I bet #1 is not. I don't know how to tell the master module to just "wake up" without the keypad. ------------- 2000 SN GT40 w/99 Graphics/Gel 2016 SN 200 OB 5.3L DI https://forum.fifteenoff.com |

I'll take the keypad system over pushbreakers and bird's nests worth of wire and corroding connections any day! I know one day mine will bite me, but until then I'll truly enjoy it. Progress FTW. IMO the competition has still not figured out the push-button dash as well as CC did 12 years ago. The 2012 Malibus have me pulling my hair out. The part is 600.00 and you MIGHT have to replace it in this case once every 12 years! Buy it and enjoy the boat for another 12 years. Or more. The summer is short and the boat/system is awesome.

Finally found a place that would fix the assy after I removed it from car.

Dad got the new PME installed last night. Boat works like new now. He also said a bunch more lights light up on the dash on a start up and fade out on stop all cool-like. I bet our digital gauges that we thought were bad and replaced last spring would work like a champ again too. PME was our enemy all along!!! ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5009 - '90 Ski (sold) http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5479 - '00 Sport Mississippi River - Bellevue, IA |

My mechanic says it is almost never the key pad.Push the code and the stop button. Do the lights go out? Now. Push the code and the start button. Now push the start button again. Ths should start it. If one light is green then try jumping the starter solenoid. Whenever my mechanic says the keypad is bad 85% of the time a $35 solenoid fixed it. If you have never entered the code and pushed the ff key you have never really turned the boat off. If you haven't then just pushing and holding the start button should start the boat. Good luck ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=250&yrstart=1996&yrend=2000%20" rel="nofollow - 2000 Ski |

Hey guys, long time no talk. Keypad finally died on Sporty. Confirmed keypad...pull it out of the dash and flex it in your hands and it'll work like new. New one is on backorder from Nautique. That's probably not a good sign.... -Mike ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5009 - '90 Ski (sold) http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5479 - '00 Sport Mississippi River - Bellevue, IA |

Funny story HW... The gentleman we bought that 95 from upgraded to a 2001 sport. Called me when I got home that day as he was going to take his sport out...wouldn't start. Just clicked under the dash. Granted they had a crazy bad storm downed trees through cabins and ripped up roofs and lightning so maybe not all keypad fault but yea...still annoying!!! Needless to say, he wanted his old boat back. Felt bad for him for sure....not bad enough however to return the boat. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5009 - '90 Ski (sold) http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5479 - '00 Sport Mississippi River - Bellevue, IA |

Oh, come on. 14 years and my keypads are still going fine. I'll take them over a bird's nest of crimped and daisy chained wires and spade connectors and aging breakers. Smartpod FTW! ------------- 2000 SN GT40 w/99 Graphics/Gel 2016 SN 200 OB 5.3L DI https://forum.fifteenoff.com |

And then one day the keypad is not fine and you have to wait weeks for a new one. Lack luster execution on the old design I will give you, but highly reliable and easily repaired! ------------- |

They work HW, just take them out of the dash squeeze them pinch them bend them around and put some rubber bands on them and zip ties then overly tighten the nuts on the back of them when you put them back in the dash and you're good to go. That's our process until the new one gets here, after ski season :) haha ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5009 - '90 Ski (sold) http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5479 - '00 Sport Mississippi River - Bellevue, IA |

Keyless is a very nice feature particularly when some of your ski buds have butterfingers with keys aboard boats, lol. I keep 2 separate codes using 2 sets of numbers that do not duplicate, if a specific number button goes bad I would still be able to code up the ignition. Of course this we be no help if the stop or start button craps out. |

Doh! That was me, ha. Got in the boat to drive and the radio was so friggin loud (imagine that in Quinners boat) I couldn't hear the motor running, turned it down but not off then forgot about it,LOL. Always something when hopping from boat to boat. You guys worried about a simple key pad, wait til my linc screen goes bad then you'll really have some ammo. |

Any idea how to add a code? My "4" button is suspect and since we use it three times we should probably have a backup option. ------------- |

Hey Chris, don't remember the exact sequence and your model could be different from mine. It's in the owners manual, add one as the primary and the other as a secondary, pretty basic stuff. |
