    I am going to assume these all are in same switch panel? Check wiring at that panel should have one main hot wire that feeds the panel. Jar may have caused the connector to come loose. A lot of these are just push on connectors. Hope this helps.

    Yes it could. If it's not to hard to pull might want to take it loose and see if there is some kind of common conector on back side that broke or came loose.

    I pulled it off could not see anything .It is on a tracker . looks very simple . Got three hook ups on each side . Nav , depth finder , and one that is always hot . The other has bulge ,aerator , and something else . The depth finder is the only one that is working out of that box .I just don't know .

    There has to be something loose in there for one piece to be working and the others not. Is there a ground wire hooked there also? Check that nut for tightness if you haven't already. I have never been into a Tracker before so I can't invision the box every thing is hooked to. Is it open on the back or is the connections enclosed inside the box. If you want I'll pm my number or pm me yours and I'll try to help.

    Sounds like a common ground problem to me. You need a tester or at least a test light to run it down easily though.

    Agree with WB or the track that carries fire cross the board is broken.

    Alright duct tape probably won't fix this . Looks like I need to get me a test light and check that .
