97 Explorer 215 Nav lights help
« on: May 07, 2020, 08:21:50 PM »
Hello everyone. I am beginning to think the boat gods don't want me out on the water. After a long process of dealing with overhauling my lower unit, I was looking to go out for a test run when I noticed my nav lights weren't working. They were previously working fine, after I had installed all new switches. I pulled my panel and checked the connections which were fine. I traced the circuit the best I could, and found a crusty ground coming from the anchor light to the rear ground block. Cleaned up the ground, now anchor light works. Fuse is fine obviously. No front lights. Also, when I put the switch up (nav/anchor should both be on), now the anchor light also turns off. Again, this circuit previously worked fine. I troubleshooted this until I ran out of light. I'm not very familiar with a nav circuit, and was hoping someone here had a wiring diagram and was also familiar with the aquasport wiring of this circuit and could point me in the right direction. The knowledge on this forum has been overwhelmingly helpful this far, thank you in advance. I did try searching the forum for a similar issue but could not find anything.

Here's a general Owner's Manual. Switch panel and wiring diagrams toward the back may be of so help.
