Electrical Problem

[Guma]

Cleaned the boat up today, and noticed while I was cleaning, the tower lights were on. I had the key in, and turned to accessories to listen to some tunes. Using touch screen went to lights and they were off according to the display. Turned them on (lights stayed on), turned them off and the lights turned off for about 2 seconds and came back on. Figured would look at it later... Fast forward a few hours, went to leave and noticed the lights were still on, now the key is out, and the battery switch is off, but my tower lights are still on.

They were not on when I started cleaning today.

I looked under the dash to see if one of the rocker switches got flipped, but they were all off.

Any clues?

There are certain functions that continue running automatically, even when the key is pulled out (like the blower). It may be possible that the lights are one of those functions if you previously had them on. I have no clue or evidence if this is correct, just an unsubstantiated theory.

Well I found a circuit breaker in the back that had tripped. Found this too late, as the house battery had already went dead. So dead in fact that my ProSport charger didn't even recognize it to charge it up again. Had to run some jumper cables to the house battery for about 10 mins to get some charge in the battery and then the charger recognized it and started charging. Talked to Dom, who in turned talked to a tech at Tige. If I notice this problem again, he said to let him know, there is slight possibility that there is a relay under the dash that is going/has gone bad.

Went out yesterday and did not experience any problems, house battery got a full charge from a full day of surfing, wakeboarding (read - many face plants and enemas...LOL) and I got in 2 sets on my first double boot slalom.
