I have a 2006 Bennington 2575RL. A new problem arose this summer when I turn on the ACC switch that supplies power to my radio and depth finder. At first I thought there was an intermittent problem as the power to the radio would come and go. But yesterday I saw that when the switch is depressed, the white light in the switch is flashing on about once a second and there is no power to the radio. I pressed what appears to be a CB button below the switch, but it did not appear popped and pressing it made no difference. Can someone tell me what the flashing light means and how I might troubleshoot the problem?

If it's a standard Carling switch, I would go with bad switch or bad connection

I just got back from doing some troubleshooting. I disconnected and reconnected the power wire at the battery and the switch worked normally. What baffles me is that the light flash was so consistent in duration. For now I have to assume it was just the loose connection.
