Alarm on 1996 Mercury 115 HP ELPTO

[DonMcJr]

Hello all! The outboard above started having an alarm Saturday night. It was 60 degrees out and humid. Water was 64 degrees. I know the alarm wasn't constant. From what I remember it would go off steady for 20 seconds then stop then go same again.

Water was pissing out fine and the alarm started as soon as I started the engine so wasn't overheat.

Oil resivoir is 3/4 full.

The Speedometer and tachometer both have the backlights but neither work.

Motor seems to run fine and I was able to go full speed no problem...

Any help would greatly be appreciated!

Ok so I went out and checked it.... It alarms steady shortly after the "One Buzz" check alarm without even turning the key to "Start".

If I push in the key and wiggle it the alarm shuts off.

My guess is I need a new Ignition Switch?

Did I figure it out?

Also the control is a QuickSilver with Power Trim and push the key in for choke... Where can I find the Ignition Switch?
