Hi guys, so I have a 1996 nitro fish and ski with a 120hp force motor. My navigational lights are not working. The other switches in the three gang switch light up and work but nav light switch is not lighting and lights don't come on. If the three switches are all in one housing are they independent of each other where one switch would stop working or would they all fail. Just trying to eliminate the switch as the problem. Or could that switch just not be getting power which would mean it's somewhere from the switch back to the splice. Any help would be appreciated. Thx

My guess is there just in the housing, but different switches inside. Unable to verify from this distance

First thing I would do is test the wiring to make sure power is getting there. If it is, I would test the lights to make use they work. That will give ou a general idea of where to start, then go from there.
