2006 340 Sundancer ACC switchs

[patricks]

Hey y'all,

Anyone would know where the connectors for the two switches ACC1 and ACC2 would be located? Wiring diagram lead to the DC panel in the bilge both couldn't find where to connect the accessory I'd like to be turned on/off with the switch.

I believe acc1 and acc2 come from the panel under the helm and the aft acc button on your other switch pad comes from the bilge panel. In my 320 the acc 1 was wired to a connector in a harness going to the gauge cluster. I think it was originally meant for the sounder on a non-smart craft installation. It was only wired to one side of the connector so I removed it and used it to power the autopilot.

Acc 1 comes from under the helm, Acc 2 comes from the engine room EIM. You also have the fwd acc abd the aft acc. They are wired the same. Frw to the EIM under dash and Aft EIM to the stern. There are pig tails in the wire harnesses coming out of the EIMs that you can dig out and use for Accessories.

 

[patricks]

Thanks, I'll keep digging. I opened the DC panel in the bilge but couldn't find a connector, or a pig tail with open ends. If any of you would have a picture of what I should look for that would be helpful.

Thanks

The wire, only the hot feed, will be in the bundle coming out of the EIM. If you have you owner's manual, you can trace the wiring diagram to get the color and wire number. That is how I found them.

patricks - as long as SR used the same wiring harness etc here are the numbers to all 4 of the Accy switches on the helm switch pads.
Accy 1 - wire #536 / 14 gauge / color: Red/Violet / location: comes out of elm EIM harness.
Fwd Accy - wire #535 / 14 gauge / color: Red/Violet / location: same as above

Accy 2 - wire #527 / 14 gauge / color:Red/Violet / location: comes out of bilge EIM harness
Aft Accy - wire #526 / 14 gauge / color: Red/Violet / location: bilge EIM harness

All the accy wires are 14 gauge and All show to be Red n Violet. The harness that comes out of the right side of the EIM has a ton of wires. These wires are just mixed in with the rest of them and capped. Length from exiting varies, but usually 12 or so inches. Find it by the color and then look for the number. This only supplies you the 12v feed, you have to get your ground else where. I am not sure of the amperage. I have mine operating my stern SR underwater (actually under swim platform) lights, the blue LED thru hulls I installed, my autopilot power and my inverter power on/off.

Hope all this helps.

Thanks for the info.
After over an hour of digging through the harness I was still not able to locate the specific wire #527. All the wires of hte same color I traced ended in the bilge DC panel. I haven't opened up all the harnesses yet so I'll keep digging at a later date. For now I found an empty 12V breaker in the bilge DC panel, so it will have to do for now.

Thanks

The wires come directly out of the bigcluter coming out bottom right side of EIM.

bring this back for a min. Anyone know if wire #536 has another breaker besides the one under the panel? I found the wire and turned on the switch with no power. I’m stumped. Thanks

I did mine several years ago. You can take the EIM cover off and see if one of the breakers is labeled for it, although I kinda remember they were not labeled correctly or the PO had already did some changing around. Also - check the power at the end of that wire while turning on the "unused water pump switch". This is the one on the stbd pad, lower right. Looks like a small rectangular box with a squiggly line going through it. It is used for other SR boats that do not have the fresh water pump on the electrical panel in the cabin. I do remember after much trial and error, I did finally figure it out. I am using the fwd acc, stbd, acc and the acc2 switches as well as the unused water pump switch. I am not using the acc 1 switch as I think I remember not finding power from that switch and ended up tracing it through the EIM and tried the water pump switch and it actually powered the 536 wire. Make sure you check your test light on a good ground. I tested mine right on the + wire going into the EIM. Good Luck.

Thanks. I didn't take the cover off yet, but I did verify that #536 powers up by the water pump switch. Maybe there was a typo in Searays manual. I still want to search for ACC1 though. At least I have power somewhere.

I have not been able to figure out acc 1 yet. Guess when I have something to hook to it I will investigate some more n hopefully find it. Let us know if you figure it out.

Yea I really want to find it. I'm going to use it to turn on my FLIR unit. Really didn't want to use the water switch. Who knows the water switch looks kinda like a radar beam that could resemble night vision..lol

 

[Korkie]

It could be mistaken for a video screen. There have been various guesses on here as what it is. One rainy day I may poke around at it as well just to find it for future use. I want to add LED accent lighting someday, would use it for that if I it could be found.

 

[colerl]

Any more info on this topic as I begin the dive into the wiring harness??? I have a fox and a hound that I am gonna try to see if making finding the location in the harness somewhat easier...

 

[Korkie]

Nothing new. Fine a terminated wire coming out of the loom. Put a test light on it and start turning on and off switches to see if you get power to it. If you know the wire number from the wire diagram, that makes it easier to fine the actual wire, but no guarantees what switch is going to actually supply power to it. Good Luck.
