Default Z255 Shabah NAV Lights Not Working

Both lights out-bulbs are good. The stern light works in both positions. Could it be the switch? I just ordered one so we'll see. Dumb question: my fuse panel under the cockpit console- are those GFCI type fuses...ie: they just "pop" out and you reseat them? In other words- they aren't replaceable?

Thanks in advance!

    You're correct, the breakers are just resettable, they pop out and you push them back in to reset. Hopefully your issue may have just been a bad switch or maybe the contacts got dirty too. I had heard that Mariah did have an issue with corrosion on their switches and wire connects, due to the rapid breakdown of a dielectric grease they used, and once it broke down, the switch contacts could corrode easier. Sometimes just unplugging the contacts and replugging them back in can clean them enough to get them functional again. Let us know if you were able to get them running again!
