When I bought the boat the front and rear tower light would light up in either switch position.
I had to remove all the wiring in my tower to get some welding done. When doing this I found another wire for the tower light. I also found that both front and rear light were wired together. So a this point that would make sense why they were coming on together.
I start looking at the wiring and found a blue wire that was broke. That was the same extra wire I found in the in the the tower. (Wiring being blue for power) Why is the power wire blue???
Anyway so I get that connected to where it was broke and there is a label that states tower light, so I think this is going to be easy.....Well no. I get it connect and reconnect the light ends now being two wires. So I flip the light switch to forward, fined the wire that get them on. Then I switch the light to the rear connect that light. At this point I figure we are in a back to factory setting.
I flip the switch to forward all lights come, flip it to rear light same thing.
So I pull the dash panel, I notice which I believe to be 7 pin switch. At this point I don't know how it should be wired.
Thoughts
1 a pwr all time
Ground
pwr to light the switch when in on position.
1 wire going to front lights
1 wire going to rear lights
How should the be wired and how do I go about figuring it out?
Thanks
