Hello friends. I have a 2004 270 Sundeck. She's in very good shape. I had her out last weekend and everything was fine. My two batteries were 2015. I installed new batteries for this season this evening. After install, my blower, bilge pump, and cockpit lights are not working. I've checked every fuse in the cuddy cabin panel. Every fuse in the panel behind the dash. And have removed the inline fuse next to the battery switch and direct wired to the battery. No joy. The only things hooked to the batteries were the battery charger leads, and one negative lead that grounded the lighting for the transom radio control. Both engine breakers are working. The engine fires right up, and everything else appears to be working. Captain's call, nav lights, vacuum head, water pump, wipers, and radio. All lights work except the cockpit lights and the light in the head and the light in the cuddy cabin. I have been pouring over the wiring diagram and if there's some fuse somewhere else I sure as hell don't know where it is. I am open to any suggestions. Thank you.
 
Update. I'm beginning to suspect the dreaded peanut switch panel EIM issue. I'm a fairly handy guy, who's worked on cars and boats and homes for decades. I've traced everything, tested everything, and it appears the common point between the three things that aren't working is the peanut panel. Ugh.
 
I am starting to have issues with peanut pad on my 04 240, wanting to do the same upgrade, just have not had the time
