On this new to me 92 Pantera ll neither the bow or stern lights are operating. From what I can tell the wiring is intact on the entire circuit and the posts/bulbs are new. My only thought is the problem could either be the switch or the breaker. Does that sound plausible? Seeing as how its BC vacation time, is there any way I can check the integrity of these two to narrow my problem down? Are these push-button 8 amp breakers and/or switches available at say a Radio Shack? Thanks and I hope everyone has a safe holiday week.

Those are ETA brand breakers and there are similar ones commercially available. The wiring for the lights is white or white with a stripe on the boat wiring. Use a voltmeter and start at the dash switch, also check the bow switch to see if this activates the lights. BCB

I had 2 loose rivets in the bow light socket so I drilled them all out and pulled it up. Turns out it was a 20 year old crimp job that was loose. A little solder and shrink wrap and by gosh I have working lights. I guess I was trying to make the job too hard as usual. Thank you BCB for trying to lead me in the right direction.
