Windless problem....when I try to select "windless on" from helm, the green light will not come on and the windless will not operate. When I push up or down arrows I can hear relays clicking in the bilge. Checked fuses and circuit breaker...all are good. Foot pedals on bow will not work either. Any ideas? Thanks.
 
If the foot pedals will not work either, it could be the Windlass control box mounted under the windlass in the anchor locker. Make sure both battery switches are set to ON as well.

There is an inline fuse wired into the loom. It is located in a holder attached to the control box. Did you check that?

Check the fuses on the main latching solenoid in the bilge. It should be located very close to your batteries.
 
The eim solenoid could be stuck too. Had that issue. I also had to replace control box.
 
just another question....how do you know that the control box is faulty? Is there a specific test before changing out the whole thing? Thanks
