Hi,
I just changed out my dash panels and switches on my 2000 330EC. All of the switches have been tested and work correctly except for the Windlass Main (VLD1-3 SR part# 1733928). I have double checked the wiring against my original panel and the wiring diagram. The switch acts as it should and the windlass works accordingly, however, the light is always on, even in the middle resting position. It stays on when pressing the switch upward or downward as well. I cannot figure out why this is the case. The light should only illuminate if the switch is pressed up or down I believe. The light on the old panel was burned out so I cannot compare. Here is the wire configuration I am running if anyone can relate (by position):
(8) (red/violet) --- | --- (7) (black - ground)
(3) (white/blue) --- | --- (6) (white/blue)
(2) (red) --- | --- (5) (black - ground)
(1) (white/blue) --- | --- (4) (white/blue)
The (red/violet) should always be hot correct? removing this always turns the light off, but then I lose functionality.
Thanks,
Mike
