[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 101967, member: 1485"] 2400, you are a gentleman and a scholar and I'm pretty sure I now owe you some Blue Numnums. I do have an ohm meter, now that you mention it. Owned by the same grandpa that gave me the boat. And old thing with a needle (not digital) but it still functions. I was attempting to use it, however I know little of what I'm looking at. Sometimes it does nothing. Sometimes the needle jumps to zero. I will try it on the switch, though. That's a good idea to troubleshoot that before I start messing with the wiring. They are really tight up the gunnel to the bow, and ripping them out and then replacing them is the last thing on my mind. I will also check that orange wire and its corresponding black wire. They are both hooked to the fuze block, so hopefully something happens when I connect the prongs. You misunderstand about the light: I literally have one. Just one. It's on the side of my console. The wiring diagrams provided to me by the Alumacraft rep seem to show another light in the stern, however close inspection last night revealed no light. It's a stumper for sure. And the navigation lights have their own separate switch, so they can't be the culprit. My only thought is the guy building the boat wired it for extra internal lights, then for whatever reason didn't install them? Seems odd, but people do odd things. Like try and figure out the wiring mess in their 22-year-old boat. [/QUOTE]
