Wiring Accessories Toggle Switch


Pappy

Recommended Posts

My boat is a 1989 Rinker 

last summer I turned on the accessories toggle switch to run the radios, no power to anything from that toggle.

Power or start and horn and bilge work fine, just nothing off toggle.

found one of the linking black(neutral) dual metal clips had broken and was off the clip on back of lights toggle.

fixed that I think anyway and still can’t make anything work. Everything looks hooked up correct, but doesn’t work.

any suggestions to test something to isolate problem would be helpful.

i don’t have meter to check toggle

i have pretty basis wiring knowledge only

pop out type fusses above switches all look ok

thank you

Had problems with my switches and fuses on my 86 

 

There was corrosion where my fuses clipped in  . If I wiggled the fuse it would work . I cleaned and put  a little Ox guard on 

 

I also had to replace  a few switches .

Thank you guys for the help!

it is brutal cold here today but I finally went out and took the cover off to test and jiggle wires, it worked.

on the third hotwire I checked the switch flashed  and I found a bad terminal connection, so I located the problem and it’s easy to fix.

thank you both for replying
