Guest Guest123456789 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Guys/Gals, i lost power to my nav lights, sounder and radio. I think I pulled a yellow wire out that sits underneath the starboard gunwhale just above my storage. I have a gps there and I think when I swivelled it something caught and I ripped the wire out. It’s odd as I have an isolation switch between the running battery and electronics. i’ll post a pic tonight but I’m keen to hear what diagnostic process others feel I should follow?

zmk1962 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 (edited) Hi mate. It sounds like the radio, sounder and lights are on the same circuit and maybe pulling the yellow on the sounder shorted out the fuse on that circuit which took out the other gear as well. the fuse would be located after the switch and before any of the electrical gear (lights, radio, sounder). But its only a guess as we'd need more info about your boat's wiring set up. Probably easier to talk through. PM sent.

Guest Guest123456789 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Big thanks to @Zoran who I called on his mobile and fixed it. I pulled a positive cable and and shorted a fuse near the battery and isolation switch. Just replaced the eye connectors to the positive, reattached to terminal then replaced the 10amp fuse.
