    Feel free to add to as necessary
    1. If a light for an accessory is blinking the breaker is tripped. To rest the breaker push and hold that button until light goes out and it resets itself.
    ....
    1) If a switched accessory light is blinking, the internal circuit breaker has tripped. If the 'STOP' light is blinking, an un-switched accessory has tripped its' breaker. To rest a breaker, push and hold the button that is blinking until light goes out and it resets itself. .....

    This may be a dumb question but I just bought an 07 z20. How do you turn the panel off when you are done fishing for the day? I have just been letting the system time out is this correct?

    my stop light just started blinking. It will turn off engine, but not the accessories. Have to turn the breaker off and then it will go away but sooner or later will start blinking again. What do you mean by an "un-switched accessory"?

    I want to tie into my accessories, however, finding the right wire seems next to impossible. Not a big fan of the 05 key pad.

    They are under the console and there should be a boring diagram on the inside of the rear deck lid. Don't remember the color coded wires for each switch off the top of my head but the wiring diagram shows them.

    Having problem with key start buttons - 2003 Ranger 521vx Started after in storage for 90 days. All batteries charged - pressed in code and heard the normal beep - went to press start and would not turn over ?? Went back to motor and jumped the starter solenoid and motor started with NP. All gauges and and dash are on. turned off motor when hitting stop.

    I’d start by doing a few simple things. Disconnect both starting battery cables. Trip the main breaker. Let sit completely de-powered for at least 30 minutes. I’d disconnect and reconnect touch pad and brain connections. Sounds like your battery is ok…but I’d test it anyway. If none of that helps, probably looking at needing new pad…and or brain…if they are available. One other option might be available is the backup start key…I’m not sure they are available for that year, but basically plugs in to the connection for the start function and works like a regular key start.

    I'm having a touchpad issue with my 19' 520C. The bow touchpad lights were all on, but none of the switches worked. I removed it, unplugged it, and plugged it back in, then about half of the lights would work, but still none of the switches. In addition, my horn does not function, but the rest of the left touchpad does. Someone suggested looking for a water short in another thread, but I couldn't find anything.

    Is there a wiring harness connector that I am missing somewhere? I found the ones under the dash, but didn't see anything in the dash that looked like it was going to the front of the boat.
