Dear All The ceiling push lights on the starboard side have decided not to work.There is one in the bow cabin, one in the shower cubicle, one in the stern shower ,one in the stern toilet and one in the starboard stern cabin.Obviously they are somehow linked. I have checked all 3 light group fuses and I also cannot trace the wires into the wurth panel. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Best regards Duncan

Presumably there is no voltage across the light terminals, but you could check the voltage from the 12v terminal of a light to a “known” ground connection, and try measuring the voltage from a “known” 12v line to the light’s ground terminal. These measurements will tell you if the bank of lights have a bad 12v connection versus a bad ground connection. I lost a bank of lights on my Hanse 400, and it was a bad ground connection that I couldn’t locate. I ran a new ground wire from one of the lights to ground to fix it (keeping all the original wiring in place to ground the other lights too). ------------- "Kerkyra" 400e #042 |

Dear Kerkyra Problem sorted .It was indeed bad connections but in the lighting area of the Wurth board. Your suggestions got me thinking in the right direction and I swopped a few of the plugs on the Wurth lighting area and all smiles. Many thanks Duncan p.s. Many of the wires and plugs on my Wurth board are under a lot of pressure from weight and shortness of wires.I really am going to have to change out this system. sometime.

Have any of you undertaken changing out the Wurth panel?? Duncan

I know that the wurth is not a lot of fun...every time i touch it, i have side effects for the reasons you mentioned: short cables, cramped connectors/fuses. Is there a "ready to go" option for the wurth control? ------------- Hanse588#55 |

| I ordered a new 12 volt Wurth panel in October with a promised shipping date of December 9th and nothing as of this date but the factory just said they plan to ship it out at the end of January, so if you do order one expect more than the promised 8- week processing time |

the Wurth panel is a shame to be honest on my 2013 575 I had no major faults, a part from the difficulty to find and change bad fuses. I have some experience in electrical systems : the problem is that to take out the wurth panel and install a nice and tidy electrical cabinet, with all the cables routed and fixed in a decent way, we would need at least 20 times more space. both for the cabinet and for the cables routing. also the electrical layout near the main board under the 220v part is a mess. I once visited a 630 , after many faults and problems the proud owner had rebuilt all the electrical system. He used the space of a full height cabinet, width about 50 cm. . (another due upgrade would be a 12v -> 24v , over 50’ 12v is a nonsense)
