I was wiring up my new chartplotter and saw 2 disconnected molex connectors. Not so smart me decided to plug them in as they looked to be the same size and 1 was male., other was female. It very quickly got hot and I disconnected immediately. (I'm thinking they were the unused bimini and RGB connections) after looking at generic diagrams.
Now all of the dash switches are inop. (AUX, Livewell, Lights, Nav/Anchor)
I checked all the CB pushbuttons, they are all sort of loose, as in they arent popped out, but there is no feedback if I push them back in.
I cant find any fuses near the batter as I would expect to find on other boats.
Is there a master 30A fuse somewhere , my battery has a green wire coming off the negative terminal running into the wire bundle, but I cant trace it into the console.
Any suggestions, I will get the multimeter out tomorrow to see if there is power to the dash. The engine and ignition, fuel, trim, RPM, and hours gage all work fine.
Thanks

Found the 30A fuse coming from the + of the battery bank cutoff. Old owner had electrical tape around it....reset easily.
