2001 400 Sedan Bridge CO detector power lost.

Have intermittent 12 volt power to the CO detector in the front berth. Has anyone experienced this problem? It appears almost impossible to trace the wire due to bundling and the path that the bundled wires take aft from the TV cabinet space.

Your owner's manual may have a schematic. On my previous boat I gave up and bought one that was powered by 3 AAA batts.

I know the fuses for all 3 CO detectors are behind the main power panel. I had to replace 2 of the 3 fuses when I bought my boat. It may be a good place to start with the voltmeter.

Thanx for the tip.

If your CO detestor is over a few years old it will not work. I found this out when one my mine died. I spoke with the factory and they said that after 3 or 4 years the detector goes bad. I bought 3 of the battery powered ones and put them around the inside of the boat. I install new batteries at commissioning and after 3 years I will just buy new ones. a lot less expensive than the hard wired ones.
