vxdj Rocker Switch Diagram

[Althepal78]

So I bought a switch which also haves the same number amount of pins, however, the seventh pin is in a different place. I found and have the diagram for my replacement switch but I can't find this specific one at all. My searches included vxdj rocker switch, vxdj rocker switch diagram and a few others. I added the 9807 afterwards and it resulted in a no matches son lol but it didn't have any matches which confused me like what. Is there a specific sight that might be able to assist me because I can't even find out of the vjd1 is a replacement for this or can be a replacement. I mean if I had the diagram to the other switch I am pretty sure I could change it out because they both have the same voltage type on them and fuse number. 20a 12V

I went through all of these vids and pictures and I can't seem to find the one I have, It is like the middle part or the bottom. this pic is upside down, the single pole is actually the one unlike the one on the right, where the negative is on the top right. Would the this basically be the same thing? What I don't know is which two pins are for the nav front lights and the nav rear lights.

Try looking on Carling's site.

But you can figure it out with a simple multimeter on ohms (continuity). Since it seems like you know everything else, just trace the input V pin to various pins with the switch in each position.

As I mentioned in your other thread, New Wire Marine.

So I figured out the old switch had a jumper that was disconnected so I connected it and it worked. I still am going to change out the old one for the new one but I feel better knowing all my nav lights work. The down part is when I click down there is no volts going to the stern but I don't care as long as the nav lights work I am good and happy and I still have my flash lights for secondary means.

Good - you're most of the way there. As we discussed before, though, you're still running illegal at night without the stern light. Plus, and probably more importantly, other boats won't be able to see you without the all around light. You mentioned you took the safety course and eventually remembered this part - this a crucial thing to have working on your boat at night. This is, realistically, something that could get someone hurt - and it's a really easy thing to fix.

Honestly, and I mean this only in a constructive way... knowingly running at night without proper lights and not taking the time to fix it is very irresponsible.

No, the Sterling light works with the nav lights. I fixed it because of the jumper is not illegal anymore. I just don't have an anchor light like I can't put the backlight on by itself

Jumper being illegal? Never heard of that, that jumper is common practice. The anchor light must be the highest point on the boat, so the stern light usually can't be used for that unless it's on a long pole. If that is the case you can wire the switch like the left side of the below pic.

yes I have a long pole
