E150D Starter staying engaged

Nautigirl · ‎12-12-2018

I have a E150D that the starter is staying engaged and powered after the start function is released. The starter is new and a known good one off the other motor does the same thing. If I pull and replace the start circuit connector on the solenoid, the starter ceases to spin and all is good. If I turn the key off, the motor and the starter cease. Before I start throwing parts at it, has anyone dealt with this and could save me some time?

I swapped the wire harnesses behind the key switches. The issue stayed with the switch. My plan is to change the ignition switch at the helm. Am I troubleshooting this properly?

If you swapped the harnesses on twin engines and then the problem was on the other engine (stayed with the key). Then the problem should be the ignition switch.

I swapped the key switch and eliminated the problem. Yes, I have twin engines.

Glad to hear that you found and fixed the problem
