Both of the 12v outlets in the cabin stopped working. One is over the sink, the other is behind the tv. They were working at the beginning of the season. The cabin 110v outlets work, and the cockpit 12v outlet still works. I already checked the 12v breaker on the main breaker panel.
Is there a separate fuse for the 12v cabin outlets? Where would it be?
 
Any ideas on where I should start to look for the cause? The Glomex amplifier is not working either. So it's basically everything 12v in the cabin that stopped working.
 
I know it seems silly, check if your GFI outlet is tripped. If it is push it in to reset it
 
I'm having the same trouble, also fridge only works on mains. everything strangely except the radio isn't working on 12volts in the cabin.
 
My issue was a loose wire behind the 12v outlet on the dash. That 12v outlet seems to feed all of the cabin 12v.
 
In Britain so on 240 volts, is GFI? incorporated? what is GFI? excuse my stupidity, do you mean those grey circuit breakers on the dash, if so yes all pressed in.

240 volts all working, literally just the fridge and the 12 volt outlets in the cabin don't work.

Fridge works on 240 volt only.
The stereo in the cabin does work though..that's on 12 volts...very puzzeling??

Those little gray buttons on the dash are your 12v breakers, but it sounds like you have a larger breaker or fuse somewhere that's popped. I have a 50amp (red) breaker in my bilge that controls the helm. I can't remember the label name but it's pretty obvious.

I'd guess that your stereo is wired straight to a battery or other hot location, perhaps to support an amp.
 
There should be some push button style breakers located somewhere on your boat. My buttons are under the helm. Good luck.
 
Anyone know where the outlet with GFI button is on the 37' Sundancer? The outlet in the galley does not have the button and cannot locate an outlet in the Head.

Thanks,
