Tiara Open Crusader 454 XLi Igniton Relay Failure
#5
9/11/2021

Update!  Problem Solved!  Replaced both ignition switches and cleaned the terminals - and that fixed the warning lights not coming on when the key was turned to on position. This may also fix the problem of repeated ignition relay failures, because a bad or dirty connection the the ignition switch could cause the relay to fail.

As to my problem of the starboard motor stalling above 1400 rpm - I discovered that I forgot to reconnect one of the battery ground cables back to the motor after installing an additional ground wire for the circuit breaker (black box) bracket.  The loss of the ground was causing a (43) code - Electronic Spark Control Fault (I also purchased the Rinda-Diacom diagnostic software).  Boat now run like a top!!
