Help,
I've riped out all my old wiring and have started to replace it with marine grade wiring. I installed a new fuse/rocker illuminated 6 switch panel on the dash, made the connections for my new fishfinder, VHF radio, bielge pump and running lights. I tested the running lights and nothing.
I ran a cable from the battery to the panel, (positive battery to the positive terminal on the panel and same thing for the negative) new wire from the white light and red/green light, spliced them together and connected to the panel,(positive wires to the "pigtail" on the panel and negative wires to the negative terminal on the panel). When I connected the battery, the illuminated switch on the panel lit up. When I flipped the switch, nothing happened. I know the lights work because I touched the wires directly to the battery terminals and they came on. What am I doing wrong? Any help or advice would be much appriciated. Thank you.
