There is a guy in a Facebook group with a New to him 2003 56 DB. He says that he can only get two lights in the salon and the heads to work. Says he has turned on the 4 main solenoids and the Fwd and aft lighting breakers.
it’s blocked for winter. What is he missing?
 
Has he checked that there is power to them? Has he moved one that's out to replace one that is on?
Most of the lights on my 2012 were dead when I bought mine and I had to buy new fixtures as the bulbs weren't replaceable

Supposedly on the walk thru everything worked. Closed the deal and now they are looking at things on the hard...and cannot get the lights on.
 
I saw that too. No experience with a 560DB but I can't imagine that my same year 480DB is much different. The salon dimmer lights are 120v and are on the Port side breaker. The rest of the boat is 12v and on the forward and aft DC lighting breakers.

Just spitballing. Did he check all the GFIs?
 
Another spitball reply. They should make sure the dimmer is not turned all the way down. Once, my wife told me the lights in the salon weren't working. When I looked, the dimmer was all the way down.
 
That boat should have 24v and 120 volt lighting, typically the 120v lighting won’t work unless he is plugged or has generator on.
