    you say you CHANGED them.....new / used ??

    as far as i know....and im not one for electrics... the main tank sensor is just a switch....test it for continuity and NO continuity... remove it, test with float down AND up....ensure a difference.

    the sub tank... i THINK.....has a full( green)....a caution( yellow ) and a low (red ) three position sensor...so ensure the sub sensor continuity readings ALSO change as you change the float position.

      I changed them out with new genuine Yamaha parts. have tested as you described.even tested old ones i took out and they tested fine. i tested keyswitch yesterday and its fine .I also tested harness from sub tank to computer.all is well. i tested harnesses from computer to main harness no problems . tested trim sender.tested fine.This realy has me going nuts. Any body have some c-4? ,i might create an artificial reef somewhere.Could a faulty digital guage not be reading signals? i noticed a little fog under glass as if water has entered somehow.
      Thanks a bunch for all your input

        I'm not 100% positive but when the alarm goes off your gauge should show which system has a fault. Either the oil or temp gauge will flash. I had an issue with the temp wire rubbing through at one of the top mounting bolts for the computer which was causing the alarm to go off. If your systems appear to be working fine I would suspect a grounded wire somewhere.
