My 07 75hp optimax is running fine but today the warning beep stopped beeping as I turn the ignition key. So it is not doing the "horn test" beep as I turn the ignition key one 1/8 turn on startup to indicate the alarm system is active. Obviously I want this alarm to be working properly to warn me of any engine issues.
Anyone had this problem or have any idea how I met check this out?? Don't even know where the alarm device is?
Thanks
Landry

Oil is full. If it was low the alarm would beep 4 times.

Probably the horn itself is bad. It is usually under the dash or in control box. It is roughly the size of half a 12 gauge shell and has 2 wires going to it.

Fixed it myself. Turns out it was a loose wire connection leading to my alarm horn.
Thanks guys.
