Hello,

My boat is a 2021 Ranger R25 and Cockpit courtesy lights stopped working. All of them. Not sure which fuse this is but don't think this is a faulty fuse as was not overloaded. And I doubt its a wiring issue so that leaves the switch. The switch is located next to the transom door so it is exposed to weather so I could see be faulty. The batteries were off so these would not be continuously on and they're a couple of inches above floor so they shouldn't be flooded.

Any ideas how to troubleshoot?

Thanks!!
 
I'm thinking there's a inline fuse somewhere but I can't find it.
 
Use a fine blade to pry the switch out and test for power with a multimeter. I had that switch fail and was able to use another set of unused contacts on the switch. I just move the wires to the other contacts.
