[QUOTE="Will 31pics, post: 476474, member: 26258"] Alumacraft 1860. Bought used. Here is what I discovered. BOTH sockets for nav lights were corroded. Replaced both. (still dont work) Brker not tripped. All instrument gauge lights dont work. Brker not tripped. Are all these lights connected ? I got NO electrical voltage readings on the nav light wiring. All instrument gauge bulbs are good. I do get 12 Volts on each Gauge[b] ""EXCEPT""[/b] The 12 volt readings only come off the hot leg off the blue wire & the other end to the ignition lug on the back of each gauge. If that makes any sense. To proceed, I think I need to know WHAT makes the gauge lights come on.I have turned on accessory switch- no lights Ignition key to on- still no lights. I didn't check to see if they come on WHILE the motor is actually running.. and if that all isnt confusing enough, There is the nav lights issue. Can I solve these issues SEPARATE or are. they connected somehow. Thank you for any input. [/QUOTE]
