Electronic Switch pad on 2003 280da

[TheGoodLife]

Hey guys, looking for some help. On my 2003 Sundancer 280 I have been having issues with my right side Electronic Switch Pad (the one with the Nav lights, Windlass..etc). Whenever I hit a button, one of the other buttons will light up. For example, I hit the nav lights and my horn goes off, if I hit it multiple times it will eventually cycle through and turn on. Same with the windlass, if it try to turn it off, the anchor will move up or down instead of shutting off. Any ideas, this has been a rough boating year for me. The other switchpad works fine.

the switch pads communicate with the EIM`s to activate the different circuits, clean and check all the plugs and harness back to the EIM

Does anyone know where the EIM is located in the 2003 280da

I believe the one you are interested in is located at the helm area, down near the floor inside the panel on the starboard side.
