Howdy all! Just bought a 2004 366 ac and working through so many WTF items but this one has me and my surveyor stumped. As you see in the first pic, at the helm, the bilge pump lights are on all the time. Pumps work and can be activated by the same switches, just the lights are always on. Previous owner said they’ve been that way for 9 years…maybe but I have to think the bulbs would have burned out a long time ago if so. Second pic shows all the lights with the dimmer up. No change with the switches actually on.
This can’t be right, right? Shouldn’t they only light up when activated or with the dimmer up?

Re: Bilge pump switch lights always on?
Sounds to me the switch light is wired to line power instead of load side of the switch.
Or the switch itself has the line connected to the load side and the load connected to the line side.
The switch would still function fine.

Wired incorrectly, would also be my guess.

Re: Bilge pump switch lights always on?
Could this be caused when changing out a pump or would this only the wiring at the dash?
