I have searched as much as I can and have learned how this system works pretty well. But in kinda stuck on this issue.
The motor is a 90
or 91(model number plate is missing) Yamaha 150 precision blend. First I had no power to the remote pump and checked power all along oil harness with nothing and decided to connected the yellow wire in main harness (key on 12v) that I was told I didn't need to hook to the universal key switch I am using. This got power to the pump but it is constant power, pump runs when hooked up regardless of oil level. I ohm'd the remote float switch and it is good. The main tank float seems to be my problem but I want to be sure its not the control unit.
This is where I get stumped, by ohm'ing the top side float I have infinite resistance for the bottom and middle switches(open circuit) but top switch meaning tank is full and should kill pump gives me resistance of about 20 when it should, then infinite when the float moves down.
By following a trouble shooting article I found it said to ground the white wire from float and if the pump stops then the control unit is ok but float is bad?is this correct? If the float is bad then why did it put motor in limp mode when the main tank was about 1/4 inch below the bottom line?
