2009 350 DA Switch Pad Partially Inoperable

[malleyerb]

Our 350 DA came out of winter storage with a partially functioning starboard switch pad. Some buttons work, some don't. The dealer has checked the wiring, tried the switch pads and EIMs (with same parts numbers) off a new 370 and it didn't solve the problem. The next step is to speak to the manufacturer of the switch pad/EIM and check the harness.

A possibly related issue: the generator spontaneously started at the dock, while on shore power. The dealer can't explain it.

Our boating season is really short in Maine, and we're hoping to go on a cruise downeast starting on July 4th. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thank you!!!!

I have a few switches on mine too that do not work I was told to power down the whole boat then trip the breakers on the eim forward and rear in the main panel in the engine room wait ten min then repower did this this weekend and all is good that was my mechanic talked to sea ray Friday and told him how to reset the eim
Good luck

Thank you! I'll let our mechanic know. Maybe this will do the trick! Enjoy the summer!

The switch pad is dashboard of the helm that has the buttons for the horn, blower, windlass, wipers, lights, etc. Many of the buttons on ours don't work right now.
