Hello! I was wondering if anyone had any info on ordering parts for my Mariah Z245? I must have called at least 10 marinas in my area and no one can find me a sock docklight. I'm also having trouble with my harbor light. Every time I hit the switch the cuircut blows and I can't find a short anywhere. Anyone think it's the switch and if so where can I find one. Thanks so much!!

You can get rocker switches off amazon. But you need to know the #of throws and # of pulls.

we call that style switch an ARB switch. But, you can get the rocker switch from any auto parts store BUT YOU NEED a high amperage one. I've never noticed any relays under the dash so get a high amperage. Than you can pop your original rocker cover with MARIAH printed on it and put it on your new rocker body.
Pull the black wire off the switch to disable the backlight and see if it still pops the fuse. If it does, your problem is NOT the switch. You removed the only thing that it could ground to inside the switch. Your problem is down stream of the switch.
Check the plug in's at the light itself. Unplug the lights and turn the switch on. If the fuse pops, your problem is in the wiring to the light, which I doubt.

Wait !! I'm misleading you !! That is NOT what they're called, it's a nickname we rock crawlers call them. We didn't know they existed till ARB locking differentials started including them. Sorry for the misleading !
So, I didn't know that was their name so I learned something today
