In an attempt to replace the cigarette lighter in my 1987 Charger Bass Boat 170T with outboard motor, I messed something up!
I removed the fuse for the cigarette lighter, incorrectly assuming that would protect me from messing with the power from the battery. I accidentally bumped something and saw a small spark.
This boat has 2 keys. 1 for the motor. 1 for the battery for the accessories.
Problem: Now when I turn the key for the accessories, there is no power for any of them.
Question: What did I do?
Real Question: How can I fix this?
Real Problem: Leaving for vacation tomorrow, boat mechanics are not available for over a week, and my husband is going to kill me (ha, ha).
PS: The wiring diagram that is located on the lid of the battery compartment has been ruined over the years. (I just bought boat last year.) Anybody have the wiring schematics diagram?
