Am I missing a fuse?

[Indyjj]

On my way in the other night, I turned on my nav. lights. The green light came on and the red one did not. I messed around with them for a few and could not get the one to work. seeing how I was not very far, I made the trip back to the dock. As I was heading to the dock, my dash lights went out. I just checked the bulb in the red light and it was blown. Easy fix. Now I have looked everywhere for a fuse for the dash lights. The breaker to the right of the helm are all good, and the breakers in the engine compartment are all good. Is there any other fuses or breakers that I am missing? Any ideas what else to check?

I don't know if you have the same set up as my 1997 330DA but when mine went out, it was the little DC/AC inverter behind the dash. The thing smoked & that was that! My dash lights run on 110 VAC which is converted from The 12VDC.

Is it the dash lights that went out, or the guage backlighting that went out?

That doesn't sound right. Your NAV lights should be 12V.

Check out page 39. It will show you your Electronic Interface Module "EIM" which will have a 6A fuse for your NAV lights.

The Nav lights should be 12VDC. I'm not saying that they aren't.
He said his Nav light was a simple bulb replacement and the dash lights went out at a different time interval, independently. If its his dash lights, my money is on the inverter (if his are 110VAC like mine).

Sorry it was the gauge backlighting.

I have checked that, is there actually a fuse? I thought it was more like a breaker. I will double check it in the morning.
Thanks

You could have lost your ground to the gauges back light. If your panel lights work it will not likely be this but my dimmer failed. Both can be easily checked with a test light.
