I'm having a strange issue with the cockpit and spoiler lights on a 1999 340. I have power into the rockers and the switches work, ie power out when switched but all lights don't have power at the bulbs. Is there a connection somewhere in between that may have come loose? Possibly in the arch somewhere? Cabin lights, bilge lights and all other 12v systems function as normal.

Has this happened all of a sudden? Have you changed any light bulbs recently? Was there a time when they worked?

It did happen at once, though I don't know exactly when. I went to turn them on one evening and neither worked. I had not changed the bulbs, but I have checked them and replaced since then. One thing that comes to mind is I ran a new transducer line from the helm to the bilge at one point and I don't know for certain if they worked after. That's why I thought maybe there's a connector inline somewhere that I should check. Possibly while fishing the transducer line I pulled one loose. Behind the helm it appears to be all continuous wrapped wire. Maybe I'll take the two starboard compartments out and check behind them. I had to remove them to install the transducer line.
