I had to replace the accessories connector on my battery which controls all livewell, bilge pump, fish finder, etc. Now everything works but my bilge. I checked fuses under the driver console and all look good. Any ideas?
I'm not really sure what an accessories connector is but could it be something as simple as a loose wire?
Did the bilge work before the replacement?
You say the fuses looked good,did you put a meter on them?
What I'm talking about is the wire that goes to your battery that supports everything other than your trolling motor. That wire which is held to the battery post by a small wing nut had broken. After repairing that wire the only thing not working are the bilge pumps.
if the fuses all look good then check the ground for the pump it might be terminated at the battery or close to it. after checking its time to use a volt meter to see whats realy going on
Using a voltmeter, work backward from the pump(s) toward the power source until you find 12 volts. The problem is then between that point and the pump(s). Since you apparently have more than one bilge pump it is highly unlikely the grounds for both pumps is open but that certainly is a possibility.
