Question Question? Courtesty Lights

I'm working on the electrical system. Do the Storage lights - hull storage areas, suppose to come on when using the Courtesy lights - floor & cockpit lighting, dash switch? Or are they separate switches. The electrical schematics doesn't show this.

    The lights you're referring to are probably under "eng lights".

    Here's a break down:

    Eng Lights - engine and storage compartment below sun deck
    Trans Light - light on the transom (rear) of boat
    Courtesy Lights - interior (floor and cockpit) lights
    Docking Lights - front "headlights" great for docking at night
    Nav/Anchor - self explanatory (at least I hope)

    Don't mean to belittle anyone, just an explanation for those that may have problems (lights burned out, wiring, etc.) and need help locating.

    Question Courtesty Lights

    Do the Storage lights under the seats come on with Courtesy lights?

    Oops! I just noticed you have a Jubilee! I'm not exactly sure what would control those lights.

    Can you put a tester in the socket and turn switches on? Can you trace the wires? I'm thinking you have burned out lights or a bad connection somewhere. I would guess they're on the courtesy or engine compartment switch, but I don't know being a Jubilee. Maybe another Jubilee owner can comment?

    from the looks of the 1999 20-24' Deckboat wiring diagram, those lamps appears to be wired into the courtesy lamp circuit. I'd start checking the bulbs!

    Do you have a photo showing where they are located?

    Default Courtesy lights

    Found courtesy switch with loose wire. The storage lights on my boat came on now using engine light switch.
