blown fuse

[gvidogvido]

Hi,
On my bayliner 175, the top light has messed up all the lights, since non of them work anymore. The fuses under the dash are good, does anyone know if the boat has some extra fuse, like mass switch etc.?

Thanks

Re: blown fuse

Is there anything else NOT working other than the Nav lights?
A Master Fuse/Breaker would disable everything.
How do you know the Nav Fuse is good? Looking at it doesn't count.
Are you prepared to use a voltmeter?

Re: blown fuse

we realy need a little more help to see whats going on. please remember most of us do not know what a bayliner 175 is.

inboard/outboard make and type of motor. what other lights (can you check other equipment so we can see how far back the problem goes)

if the dash is no longer working then there maybe a inline fuse near the engine but with out further details i can not say for sure

Welcome to iboats!:welcome:

What do you mean by "top light"? Are you referring to the white all-around navigation light at the stern?

Please note that fuses can look good but be bad.

Glenn, the Bayliner 175 has a MerCruiser 3.0L I/O.

Re: blown fuse

Check all the bulbs,if wired incorrectly,one burns out,the rest won't work either. Just like them Christmas lites.....seen it on boats in the past.then check all the wiring/switches.
Good luck. Grub

thanks nybo i thought it was a i/o but wasnt sure. This one looks like it might be going in to the volt-meter / ground wire direction so i would like to point out the stickys at the top of the electrical page where don has made some nice diagrams on how to use a meter to find a problem

Re: blown fuse

It is 2004, mercruiser 3.0 inboard. Everything else ir working (blower, bilge pump etc.), except all the navi lights and the horn. The top-light is the all-round white navi light, and it comes removable on the bayliner, so ones it got plugged in there must have been some disconnection, and I can't find what went out.
Already checked all the bulbs, replaced all the fuses under the dash (in case they look good but are bad).

Re: blown fuse

Nav Lights AND Horn.

Just to be Anal about it.
Please confirm that the BOW Lights do NOT work either.

Assuming the Bow lights are out...
The fuse is still suspect or a bad connection under the dash.
Confirm that you can find 12 volts on the back of the Nav Light Switch and the Horn Switch.

Re: blown fuse

Have you actually used a meter or a test light to confirm you don't have voltage?
