dash gauges lights

[knajvar]

On my 340, I noticed that I don't have any lights on my gauges when the nav lights are on. I do, however, have blue light on the compass when the nav lights are turned on? I took the dash off and see that each gauge seems to be self contained and sealed with 3 wires going into them. This leads me to believe that it is a supply problem and not bulbs. Seems like all fuses and breakers are good under the dash compartment. Also, the dimmer switch is all the way on. Any suggestions?

By the way, I noticed this after I removed both port and starboard nav light bulbs on the bow for replacement. Is it possible that the bow nav lights would normally complete the circuit for the dashlights as an indicator for bulbs being out?

I just went thru this with mine. Try adjusting the Twilight setting under the Lighting/Clock section in the smartcraft gauge. And also make sure the dim switches are "up"... PM me if this is confusing....

Mark, thanks for the reply. I'll try this when I get back out to the boat. Kenneth
