[C320-list] Electrical panel question

[Jamie Pett]

I am on Bella Luna - our 1999 c320 hull 614.  I am having an issue where the top two left breakers - LP gas valve and the accessory below it (stereo) are seemingly not working.

Everything else working fine and the ‘white button’ that these two rocker switches share does not appear tripped or in any way ‘blown’.

The stereo doesn’t power up and the indicator light on the LP valve does not come on.  Every other circuit working fine. 

Anyone have any thoughts on what the cause might be ? 

Thanks - Jamie

I can maybe advise best sources for parts, switches, faucets, heads, pumps, sails, lifelines, cushions, blocks, traveler ball bearings, lights, canvas, floors, windlass, etc.
