The wiring on my new (used) 1991 22' Sunbird WAC powered by a 94 225 Jonny is a nightmare. Wires have been cut, spliced, respliced, attached to the wrong leads, run everywhichway, etc. The bilge and ignition switches work. The tack, gas gauge, volt meter also are in working order. The washdown/bait box, horn, navigation, dash lights don't work. There are holes drilled all over the console (16) where gadgets must have been mounted. There are two switches added to the dash that are wired to nowhere. At least 7 leads run back to the negative battery pole (grounds). I wired the GPS, VHS, FF, compass light to the power bar and they work fine. I wired the navigation lights and washdown/bait box directly to the batteries utilizing on/off switches. Now I'm stuck. I can't get the dash off to trace the wiring. I'm thinking that 4 out of 6 switches being bad is not likely. I checked every ground I could get at. I can live with the way I have it wired, but I have to find a way to connect the dash lights. Any ideas?<br />Stalker
