I noticed after my last fishing trip that the LED lights for my live well and my lighting do not turn completely off when I turn off the master switch. Even though the live well pump is not running, the 5 minute delay position is partially lit and with the running lights removed, the two LEDs remain partially lit. I dont think this is causing a battery problem or other problem, but they appear to be on, when they should be turned off. My guess is that the LEDs have a poor ground, but then what do I know? Bass Cat knows?? SkipjackLast edited by Skipjack68 on August 25th, 2009, 4:21 am, edited 2 times in total.

Hard to say SkipJack68, it is low on the potential that a ground is the issue, though do they fall down on brightness or continue to stay lit? Next it could be slight back feed through the master switch. And they should dim when it would be disconnected. Though that is our first guess. The other is that a ground fault on the terminal block loose, which we elude to frequently. Though that is not our thought. The most possible is just a dash issue, or are the lights on separate panels? If so we are back at the Master Switch having moisture in it. And it could be humidity in the panel touch switch also. Though these should power down with the master, so we are back on the Master Switch. BCB

I just noticed that the auto off on my compartment lights is not turning off as it did before after the compartment had been open for a few minutes. I assume that this is also a part of the problem with the panel lights staying dimly lit. Skipjack
