Wiring probem on my 12V panel. A Mainship 47 M/V. Would anyone have a 12V wiring diagram for the panel?
Recently the float switch went on the 2nd bilge pump from the bow. Owners manual shows 3, I have 4 bilge pumps. From the photo you can see power is daisy chained from the bottom breaker (auto) to the next bilge pump auto and finally to the fwd shower sump. Voltage into the first breaker is .31V. All bilge pumps will operate on manaul. On the other side of the panel, the line in is showing 13.3V to the aft shower sump.
I do not feel the bad float switch is effecting anything. Do you see misconnected wires? How do I determine why the line in for the fwd pumps is only showing .31V? Why do my pumps work on manual toggle if they are getting .31v?
Re photo, top breaker is 1st bilge and bottom is shower sump. Orange wire with stripe is power.
