my starboard blower is not working. Replaced it thinking it was bad but found out there is now power to it. The port side works fine. Anyone have this problem?
 
Your boat's blowers are operated by a "blower control module" and that module is provided power from both battery banks. There should be a circuit breaker for the port blower and another circuit breaker for the starboard blower.
The blower on and off switch only operates the blower control module.
The second part of all of this is the fire suppression system will disable the blower control module should the fire system discharge.
However as one side works and the other doesn't it is not the fire system that is the issue. It is either the module has failed or the circuit breaker for that side has tripped.
Or, of course, there is a wiring issue....
 
If I recall, there is a breaker reset in the bilge. One of my blowers kept tripping the breaker a couple of years ago, so I put in a new blower.
 
How do you reset the breaker? I found it in the bilge but none of the breakers down there toggle like a normal breaker
