    Dts /shift problem Mercury Verado 250hp 2006

    Hello,

    Hopefully somebody can help.
    I got a 2006 verado 250 hp low hours 200.
    From beginning we got issues with the throttle lever. Bought engine without rigging and ask the dealer to buy everyting new for plug and play they send a guy with cds computer to install everytime the modules don't fit the engine. So he decide to try a old throttle lever from approx same age. Far so good looks like everything works fine. Then sometimes when shift to reverse it gives a warning sound and no fault code on sc1000. It stops when turn of the key. 1 time dangerous moment (always happen reverse) sound get in so we shift neutral and forward instead of forward the engine goes backwards.... So turn of the key directly (it happen 1 time) sometimes all run great sometimes it gets in. Tried to make a movie on the floating dock.

    Im betting its a Shift switch and actuator sensor misagreement. They did away with the switch in later years. Test the switch

    Thanks for this post where can I find the switches? Are they located inside the throttle lever? Iam new with verado engines my other boat has a optimax. Hope I finally can fix this issue. The brand new 2019 throttle lever don't have problems with shifting the new handle was not possible to use powertrim on the handle the mercury technican said, so he decide to run a old used handle he find in storage. First day and on the CDS computer it works perfect. Nothing changed after first day.
