Courtesy lights to LED. Dropped the wires for one light.

[73Trihull]

I switched 3 of the 4 courtesy lights on my 2002 Hurricane GS 201. On the 4th light there wasn't enough slack on the existing wires and they fell back behind the hole. There isn't a way to access the cavity where the wires fell. I've tried using a mirror, put tape on the end of a coat hanger to fish it out, and I've tried a little grabber type instrument from an auto parts store. It seems to be a lost cause at this point. I guess the good news is that the other 3 work and look great. I found a wiring diagram. Unless I'm reading it wrong, it seems really odd that the 3 lights would work with one missing.

Anyone have ideas that may be missing?

Does the storage compartment in front of the sink come out ? That's may be your only shot at retrieving the wires unless you drill a access plate hole and put one in, which isn't a bad idea with or without the wiring issue.

Might try a piece of hose taped to a shop vac. Might work
