I recently bought an 05 Xpress X17 thats in excellent shape with extremely low time. I discovered on my first night fishing trip that the instrument lights dont come on. I figure they are supposed to come on with the nav lights. I've checked fuses and all are good. Where should I start troubleshooting this?
Thanks,
Justin
I'd eat Pittsburg Hot Links everyday if they wouldn't kill ya!!!

I'd say first start at making sure they are wired to come on with the nav lights. Most of the gauges I've seen had seperate wires for that purpose.
