About half of my stuff works and half doesn't . Took a good jare from a wave nearly got air born . The depth finder on the consle works . trolling moter works . Cranks and runs fine . All fuses are good unless there are some i can't find . The livewells nav. lights , bulge pump do not work .Worked earlier today . I have fish without a fishfinder today ,I don't want to go back . getting fire to the fuse box . Cause one item works .And no I do not have a tester . ???????????
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.
I check this . It actually has a nut on it . One line coming out is working . the rest are not . Could the box be busted ?
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.Quote:

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.
WB, maybe we need to send DD around there tomorrow.Quote:

Go to any parts house or walmart and can find one pretty inexpensive. get one that looks like ice pick. wrap all of it except last half in with electrical tape. keep from shorting something in tight spots.
Thanks ,I have this in progress . It has to be in that box . one works and the rest don't . it is sealed on the back so you cannot see anything . I am off today so I'll get back on it in a few minutes . thanks for the help .
Alright gents you to wb . Thanks for your help . Got me a light and checked everything out. It all checked out all circuits were hot like they were supposed to be . I took the dash out and checked the switches . They were getting fire to them . Some how i managed to blow a fuse . I check all the connections . Unplugged and plugged them all back up . replaced the fuse AND everything works again . Ain't sure what fixed it . but it is all working . THANK YOU ALL .:biggrin
You must of blown the fuse in the first place is all I can figure. I'm just glad women don't have fuses, else I'd have never figured 'em out.

Yea right!
NOPE DIDN'T ALREADY BLOW THE FUSE I DID IT WHILE MESSING WITH THE WIRING . I THINK IT HAD A LOOSE PLUG . YOU KNOW WB IT SOUND LIKE YOUR WIRING MUST BE LOOSE "FIGURE OUT A WOMAN". LOST YOUR MIND .BETTER HOPE SHE DON'T FIND OUT YOU SAID THAT . LOLrotfl
Soundslike WB said. While unpluging and repluging you cleaned the ground and it went back to work.
There you go.Quote:
