    That is a problem isn't it. Are you asking for some help or just making a statement?

    btw....welcome aboard.

    You're going to have to supply a heck of a lot more info on the problem than just the switches aren't working!

    We're good around here..........but we aren't that good.

    They are run in a series from one switch to the next on the ground side usually starting from the switch closest to the steering column. Is that switch working biker?
    Switch contacts , and fuses are notorious for corrosion on the spade.
    As for not lighting up , could just be the small bulb for that switch is burned out.
    I'd use a test light , and start chasing from the fuse panel to the switches.

    I meant the ground side biker , sorry my bad.

    As Larry suggested, corrosion is the number one electrical problem in boats. Check/clean your connections and use the test light to see if power is getting to the switch. If power is there then yes its possible the switch(es) have finally failed & need replacement. If you need replacement parts check our Original Mariah Vendors list for a supplier.
