Author	Topic:   Nav Lights Not Working
Caribe	posted 07-19-2011 03:12 PM ET (US)         My nav lights aren't working. Any advice? the toggle lights up but nothing is lit. Boat is a 16' Dauntless 2002. Thanks!

I'd go with looking for a loose wire on the back of the switch perhaps? If its not that I'd look into the switch itself and use a multimeter to see if the proper posts are getting 12V when the switch is in the "ON" position. If not its a bad switch. I have a 99' Dauntless 14 and just had to replace my NAV/ANC switch because it went bad.
