12V Panel light *BLINKING**????

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   OK...  concern vindicated.    Our commissioning broker did some research with Hanse.  They mistakenly put in a 15AMP fuse at the factory when it should be a 30 AMP fuse.    I asked if the Wuerth panel can take that load and they said yes.  So I am swapping out the fuse for a 30AMP resettable fuse.   As well as some other fuses likely to pop (with the right amperage).

Others out there might want to check.  The problem (restated) is that the autopilot controller has a 30 AMP fuse in the box and at times it can draw high loads in heavy seas.  The B&G guy told me a 50 AMP fuse would work fine as well.   The autopilot controller fuse won't pop in the scenario from the factory.  The little 15 AMP fuse will blow first.    If you want a fuse in front of the autopilot controller to pop, then put a 25AMP in front or bump up the one in the B&G box to 50AMPS (or at least more than 30AMP).

	Hi Rick Just cruising the forum looking for an answer on blown fuse and your post caught my eye. I have lost all the reading lights in the cabins, the ones with the red/night lights as well. I can’t seem to find the blown fuse. Could you send me the diagram as well when you have a chance, thanks

	I found this older thread when searching for a solution to the warning light I have on my switch panel and the accompanying flashing light on the electronics button. As suggested and assuming it is a blown fuse, I searched for this behind the panel. I think I have tested every fuse on the board without success. Are there fuses elsewhere? I would be grateful for any suggestions and advice.

	A couple of thoughts: 1. Yes.. I have found fuses elsewhere. For example, the autohelm has a 50 AMP fuse in my cockpit locker that for some stupid reason was being fed by a 15AMP fuse. As the panel had limitations, I was only able to bump it to 25AMPS. Meaning the 50 AMP should never blow but the 25AMP will in rough seas. Nice design...(not) The wiring diagrams SOMETIMES lay out where these fuses are if you have them. 2. I use "glow when blown" fuses to make it easy to find the blown fuse. Although I have a wurth panel diagram, its just easier to spot them rather than counting slots.

	Colin, I think the flashing red light to the left of the LCD panel in your image indicates a low level warning on one of your tanks (water or fuel) or a high level (>75%) warning for one of your toilet holding tanks. If you press the up or down buttons ( and keep pressing and eventually it should take you to the warning for the particular tank. If you sort the problem (fill water or fuel or empty the toilet tank) the light will disappear.

	Thank you for the replies. Rick, I will look to see if there is an additional fuse elsewhere for the autohelm on our 345. Wayne, the flashing light is the one on the left - on the navigation instruments button. I understood that this, combined with a solid light next to the Control Panel LED, indicates a blown fuse. Is this correct? Thanks for taking time to help. Colin

	Colin, I think you will find that is two separate issues. A flashing red light on one of the buttons like the Nav instruments button means a blown fuse on that circuit. A red light left of the LCD panel indicates as I listed above in my last post ie a problem with any of the items measured by the LCD screen - fuel, water, sullage or even battery voltage of the house or engine start battery.
