Key wont make a sound in the ignition after being winterized
 
Hi, I am new to this forum, but have a question. I have a 2010 Mariah 20.9 and just took it out of storage for the summer after being winterized. The batter was disconnected by the place that did the winterizing, and so I reconnected it. I checked the battery charge which was fine and then wanted to just put the key in the ignition to make sure everything was okay. I did this and no sound at all. The odd thing is the radio work, the engine trim, the bilge blower..everything...just nothing when I put the key in. I tried to put the ears on the engine to try and start it and again nothing. Any thoughts on what might be wrong?

Thanks
Nick

Well nevermind. I found there were actually 4 positive cables that needed to go to the battery and not 3. The 4th one was pretty hidden, but once I found it and connected it I was good to go.

Was gonna say to check the safety lanyard. My buddies came unhooked last weekend and wouldn't start. Easy fix :)
