Tiara Open Electrical Issue: Some helm switches not working
#1
I have an 01 3800 Open. Just went back in the water and have no power to about 1/4 of the helm switches. This includes trim tabs, engine room lights, port wiper (only port), ACC switch that powers my autopilot, and maybe 1 or 2 others. Took Quick look behind helm and no obvious wire off type thing. Find it odd some are impacted and some are not. They aren’t right next to each other knowing the wiring hops from one to the other. Fuses do not appear blown. All else works. No issues with electronics (Garmin), batteries seem ok, volts charging when running. Have not been able to climb behind the console yet and track wires. 

Any suggestions, lessons learned etc. before I get started with a meter would be appreciated.
