Power loss

[Grizz]

Hello I bought a axis 700 two years ago and have had no problems until the other day was going down dirt road and lost all electrical power except lights and starter engine will turn over but not start and display panel went out so can’t see any codes can anyone help I’m getting up in years and my knees are not what they use to be. Thanks

Could be something in the key switch shorting out and sending a kill signal. Could be a low oil level switch/sensor also. Could be bad coil. Could be bad fuse. In pages below main switch is the key switch. Q

I got these pic/pages from a service manual in the download section. Hope something here helps.

Thanks so much for the info

Was thinking. Dangerous I know. If it cranks but won't hit AND the display on dash isn't working also. I'd look for something common to both situation. 

Like fuse or key switch and such.

It was a fuse to the ecu put one in it blew it within 30 minutes it was a 15 amp fuse I put A 20 amp in it’s place no more problems so far. Thanks again for your help

Glad to hear you found PART of the problem. Reason I say part, is there is a reason that fuse blew. 

If the original fuse was 15 amp. And it worked for 2ish years then blew to protect the circuit. There is a short causing the fuse to blow.

 

Hate to say it, but sounds like there is still something wrong. Something is causing the fuse to blow. If you don't find what that is. It may cost you a lot more in the future.

You have narrowed it down. Now just trace down the wires in that circuit to make sure there are no chafed wires. I'd remove any tape or wire lume and inspect the wires themselves. Repair any bad spots. And put the original size fuse amperage back. 

 

Good luck. Glad I could help.

See below for fuse location and amperage. 

 

And where the fuse blew again 30 minutes later. I'd look at the wiring.

and it looks like the ECU shares the fuel pump fuse. 

 

best of luck.

I will check wiring Thank you so much for your help I really appreciate it.
