Dashboard panel not working

Thank you. Worst years of my life. Not done yet, BUT look what I have to look forward to this year! Isn’t she a beauty?
 
Thank you so much. Worst time ever.
Anyway, I guess we can still get out on the water but we’ll just have no stereo etc? Hopefully it won’t be 20+ mile an hour winds Saturday & Sunday. Happy Easter to y’all!
 
Happy Easter !

Is your problem same as original post where everything on the dashboard control panel does not work or is it just the stereo and depth finder? If your symptom is the same then it is probable that the problem is in the battery area because that is where the power comes from for the entire dashboard. The fuse to the entire dashboard is in that area. If your boat is equipped with a power shut off switch the fuse would be connected to that. I have never seen a resettable fuse but that is possible. Another potential problem is the black ground wire going to the negative post on the battery. If this wire is not reconnected during battery replacement that would cut all power to the dashboard. Once again, does your problem have the same symptom as the original post?

Fuses checked, Dealer sending all new switches. Could be worse I guess.

Happy Easter Y’all!
 
Happy Easter. So sorry to hear of your terrible family news. Beautiful boat, and you will enjoy making some happy memories aboard that. Good luck with the switches/electrical problem

Your dealer is in competent. They should diagnose the problem rather than sending you a box of switches.

I'll guess that replacing all the switches won't fix the problem.
 
So sorry to hear of the passing of your family members. :(

It is clear that members want to help but you make it difficult. Once again does you problem have the same symptom as the original post? Regardless, if two or more of the switchable functions on the dash board do not work it is probable that the the actual problem is common to two or more. If your dealer is simply reacting to your diagnosis “you know it—faulty switches!” with a parts order then they they are doing their job. It is probable that the problem has to do with your recent battery replacement because failure there would create multiple switch failure on the dashboard.
 
Verify any harness connections under helm for corrosion. My stereo was acting up and it was corrosion in harness connection. Cleaned and added dielectric grease, so far so good for a few years. Also triple check battery for any missing connections and or loose wire ring crimp.

Well I agree I guess. But he did say there were issues that year… remember we bought her and it’s been in their storage for 3 years. Also, the dealer is 3 hours away.

Four switches changed out and power is on dash. The remaining switches are on order.
Good news. But, in my opinion, the quality of the switches (and other things) on this 2023 vs. my older 2009 Tritoon has a lot to be desired. And at 50k more in cost! It is beautiful though.
Oh one last thought, is the upholstery automatically stain guard -ed? Or is this a request at another hefty cost? I’m naive I know.
 
Somewhere sometime ago I posted re. my 2009 Tritoon. The ignition switch broke and I was intending to change it. I did but problem is still there. I’ll post another place (wherever appropriate) with a couple more ideas/questions. Someone finally wants it but I can’t even get the hours off of it!
 
2023 , you probably have simtex fabric. You can do search in the upper right corner.
 
I’m not sure if this is proper etiquette… But I’d like to jump in here and ask a technical question. I have a 2022 Bennington. Runs great everything seems to work. I just purchased it two months ago. Took it out for the second time yesterday in Pensacola, Florida intercoastal waterway where I live. Are there supposed to be some lights that come on around the gauges for back, lighting when operating at night?

All the gages are powered and light up when the key is in the on position. The gage lights are weak and can only be seen at night.
