Most times it's the ground.... If the engine is on with the switch on...it's the line (+) or (-) to the panel. In some cases, there is a 30 amp fuse in between and it could be bad (meaning off the switch to the panel). Take pics and post and we can help. dc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnybugs Posted November 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 Thank you for the response. I found 1 30 amp fuse at the battery switch but it was good. There r 2 more that i will check tomorrow. I will take a pic also. Its like a full moon. I never had problems with anything. all of a sudden i got problems.

Headhunter Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 Check the voltage feed at the search lite socket. That is the first feed to the instrument panel from either the battery or the positive buss. It goes loopy loopy from there. When you lose power there nothing works except the engine. Good luck!
