Why doesn't the Keyless Start System turn OFF on my Suzuki Outboard Motor?
If the Keyless Start System on your Suzuki Outboard Motor doesn't turn OFF even when the main switch is operated, check for loose electric wiring connections. A main panel failure could also be the cause.
How to fix a Suzuki Outboard Motor when the starter motor will not operate?
If the starter motor on your Suzuki Outboard Motor won't operate, check the following: Ensure the emergency stop switch lock plate is correctly positioned. Examine the starter relay fuse and sub battery cable fuse for any blown fuses. Confirm the control handle is in NEUTRAL. Inspect the battery terminal connection for corrosion or looseness and verify the battery has power. The starter motor, main switch, or start & stop switch may have failed. Also, check for loose electric wiring connections.
What could cause the propeller of my Suzuki DF150AP not to rotate?
If the propeller of your Suzuki Outboard Motor is not rotating, it could be due to a worn or damaged propeller bush, a damaged drive shaft, or a damaged propeller shaft.
What to do if my Suzuki Outboard Motor Keyless Start System does not turn ON even when the engine switch is operated and the error sound (three short buzzer beeps) IS heard?
If the Keyless Start System on your Suzuki Outboard Motor doesn't turn ON when the engine switch is operated, and you DO hear the error sound (three short buzzer beeps), consider these potential causes: * The keyless fob may be outside the operating range, have a dead battery, or be in OFF mode. * The keyless fob may not be authenticated. * There may be a communication failure due to strong radio waves or noise. * There may be an electrical wiring connection failure between the keyless control unit and the outboard motor. * There may be an authentication error between the keyless control unit and the outboard motor. * There may be an abnormality in the electronic control system of the engine.
