Navigation Lights

[thewatkins48]

Hi,

My nav lights and anchor lights are out and there is no light on the dashboard switch on our 2014 27 Ranger Tug. The wiring diagram shows a 15-amp fuse downstream of the 30-amp fuse in the fuse block. This may be the problem child, but I cannot find the 15 amp fuse. Could you tell me where this fuse is located?

Thanks in advance for your customer service (and the Tugnuts forum)!

Did you check the fuse block behind the helm?

Yes, the fuse block behind the helm has the 30-amp fuse that leads to the wire labeled subpanel. That fuse checks for continuity. And I see the gray/red and gray/black wires from the rocker switch at the helm. The mystery fuse is in between. Am I looking for an in-line blade fuse box? Thanks.

Yes, I checked the fuse in the fuse block behind the helm labeled Subpanel. It has continuity. That fuse also controls the wipers and horn which work. It's the fuse between that and the nav light rocker switch that is elusive. I am assuming this is an inline blade fuse in a case. There is no light on the rocker switch. Thanks.

The 15A fuse “ between” is an integral part of the switch. Actually it is a circuit breaker. To reset the breaker, press the soft black nipple which is just above the switch toggle.

My nav lights work in one position of rocker switch. When nav/ anchor selected no lights illuminate.
Not sure either of what is taking place,power at switch.

Thanks Osprey, I will try that when I return to my boat on Saturday. Another baby step along the learning curve.

Thanks Osprey. Navigation lights are back. Normal push of reset bulb didn't produce. Removed rocker panel, removed and tested circuit breaker. Zero Continuity. Replaced with new and voila. Bought an extra that I hope I never need. Another step in this nautical learning curve.
