[C320-list] Berth light

[Joe Grande]

Hello Tom. Joe Grande here. My #772 only has 1 breaker for cabin lights. There are 3 Festoon bulbs on each side. The 3 position dip switch on the fixture illuminates either the 2 clear lights on the sides, while the other position lights the red bulb for night vision. There are at least 2 lengths/sizes of Festoons. Clean any corrosion off of the light probes and give it a shot. Should work. GOOD LUCK!

I can’t get either or my V berth lights to work. I replaced the bulbs and they still don’t work. Is there a separate breaker just for them?  Any other thoughts.

Jack Brenden, I may find myself in the Tampa area this winter. I will have to look you up. Summer is well underway in the PNW. I am planning on a month long cruise into Canadian waters, possibly alone a good part of the time.
