I cannot get any of my cockpit LED lights to come on. I replaced the push button breaker, with no success. The switch shows power/red light comes on. All other switches/controls on the dash work. Can’t really check if there is power at the lights because the wires enter the LED light/puck-unable to put a volt meter on them. Any ideas before I call a mechanic?

I would cut the wires and check for voltage. If there’s voltage, you had to cut the wires anyway. If not, a marine splice kit will seal them and then move upstream back to the switch

What do you mean the wires enter the pick light. Those wires have to be attached. I mean those lights are aster market and must have wire leads maybe 6 inches long and have to be wired/attached to the boats wiring. Normally they would be wired with a quick disconnect.

Nope, they go straight into the LED light. There is no lead on the two i unscrewed from the cockpit. It’s a small puck. I’ll try to take pictures this weekend when I am on the boat. The lights are not after market. Maybe there is a way to take the puck apart I am not seeing, but so far, no luck. |

The wires out from the light have to connect to the boat 12v system somewhere. |

If bulb replaceable (99% are) , pull bulb, probe with a voltmeter into connectors and see if 12 vVDC getting to socket. Un screw old incandescent bulb, should be ease to check voltage to socket? Probably corrosion between bulb and socket? Picture worth a 1000 words.

They are LED, not incandescent. |
