the original switch had a broken prong. Wired up exactly the way it was 1-6 and it works except when in anchor position the led lights on the bilage and livewell switches turn on. The pumps don't turn on just the led lights on the switches. No issues at all when in the navigation (nav and anchor lights on) position. Any idea what is causing this? Do I need to even worry about it?
Thanks,
Aaron

Well, the anchor light would be used only at night.

Guessing the other switch positions become “lighted” at that point

Before I replaced the switch, the lights only turned on for each switch when it was in the on position. Forgot to mention with the new switch the light turns on in navigation mode, but does not light in anchor mode. It's as if the juice meant to power the switch goes to the bilage switch light and livewell light. Other than the switch lights everything works as intended.

OK, I am blind. The new switch lights up in both positions like it is supposed to, was just hard to see with the sun up. I think you may be correct in that they are supposed to all light up in the anchor position. Maybe somebody that owns or has owned an old tracker will stumble upon this and confirm or deny it. Thanks for your reply.
