How to Replace the Fuses in a 1995 Sea-Doo GTX

Water and electricity do not play together very well. In the 1995 Sea-Doo GTX, this means that the fuses and multipurpose electronic module -- the brain that channels the battery's power to the ignition coil and the instruments -- are hidden atop the starter solenoid in the engine compartment. It's not difficult to gain access to the multipurpose electronic module, or MPEM, but then you must wait for any stray electricity in the module to dissipate.

Instructions

  1. Removal

    • 1

      Remove the seat from the Sea-Doo and disconnect the battery leads, using a 5/16-inch wrench to disconnect the negative lead first and a 3/8-inch wrench to disconnect the positive lead last. Make sure the safety lanyard is disconnected. Start a stopwatch and wait more than 34 seconds before proceeding.

      Remove the screws that hold the multifunction gauge in place on the instrument panel, using a Phillips screwdriver. Pull the gauge out of the instrument panel.

    • 3

      Twist the back of the gauge counterclockwise to separate the tab housing of the gauge from the front of the gauge. Press the spring tabs beneath each wire as you pull the wires to remove them from the back of the tab housing. Note that each wire is equipped with a sealed inline fuse.

    • 4

      Follow any one of the wires you disconnected from the mutifunction gauge to the MPEM on the port side of the engine, just above the solenoid.

    • 5

      Remove the screws from the ring terminals holding them to the MPEM and lift the wires -- and the fuses -- from the engine compartment.

    Installation

    • 6

      Place the ring terminal on the purple wire and fuse over the "A" post on the MPEM. Thread the screw through the ring and into the MPEM and tighten the screw securely.

    • 7

      Push the bare end of the purple wire into the "A" terminal hole of the instrument tab housing while pressing the tab down. Repeat for all the wires, connecting black to the "B" connectors, pink to the "C" connectors, pink-and-black to the "D" connectors, blue to the "E" connectors and blue-and-black to the "F" connectors.

    • 8

      Install the tab housing onto the rear of the multifunction gauge and twist the housing clockwise to lock it in place. Position the multifunction gauge in the instrument panel and reinstall its mounting screws.

      Reconnect the positive battery lead. Reconnect the negative lead. Replace the seat.
