The LED lights on the switches are supposed to be lit red
when not on and blank if the fuse is burnt out. Green if turned on (behind the label
you put on).
I called Blue Seas support for help.
Blue Seas decide it
must be the circuit board and sent us a new one We checked it out and wired it up. The new WeatherDeck™ Waterproof 6 position Fuse Panel worked perfect. As we were getting ready to remove the original one I noticed
the wires on one switch were wrong.
OK I messed up. I inadvertently put one of the switch wires
onto another switch doubling that switch up. This caused the LED lights to not
work properly.
Wires move from one switch to another by my finger.
So switching to wires back to the correct position made the panel work correctly, what a surprise J.
Now in my defense the panel side I messed up on was a bit hard
to see so I did not notice the double wiring I did.
I called Blue Seas
support. I told them it was my fault and wanted to know if they wanted us to ship the new
WeatherDeck™ Waterproof 6 position Fuse Panel back hoping they would say keep the Weather Deck panel as it is not
worth the shipping and re-stocking etc. Then we could sell it for something we wanted
like a new 600 amp buss from Blue Seas. They did say what I wanted them to, but
with a curve ball. They said we should keep it but donate it to a local boating
organization. Dam! So looks like we need to contact the Sea Scouts or some
other community boating org or even save it for a Mexico type of Sea Scouts.
