Ok, got it, thanks. The older I get the more confused I get. :)

I'm not good with the new stuff, what makes it change colors?

Great! And that is your fuse panel. It might have been like your cell phone or your computer, every so often they need to be shut down to regroup. Hope that did the trick, and you don't have a gremlin. Lol

There is so much aftermarket stuff out there that it is hard to distinguish it from original equipment. I did some checking on the net. I started with Cecil Marine a Chap dealer, they do not sell that boat, so they could not help me. The guy said that Chap did not sell a 32ft, they sold a 310-...

The first place I would look , is the brainbox that controls the system. For some reason it is not communicating. Find out who made it, and call them. There should be an identification tag on it.

I do that with all of my + and - wires going to each of my batteries, and I tag them.

(Old school), first place to look is where someone may have worked on it. We have all been there. Welcome aboard!

Yes it is the hydraulic pump and that should be the fuse. The power steering pump is on your engine.

Look for an inline fuse, start at the pump, that is where I found mine.

I would copy down your hull ID number and call Chap with it, maybe they will have the info you need. Ya, pictures don't lie, got a few unanswered questions that need answers. Keep us posted, please.

They did not list any other motor in the brochure, just those 2.

It is gas powered. Chap listed a 4.3 L V6 and a 5.0 L V8 For that model and year in an archives brochure. Count the number of spark wires you have, and that should answer your questions.

I would start with the back or the inside of your breaker panel. And see if something doesn't look right. As Iggy says, and I have already done this myself, string a new wire from the panel to the fans. Make sure you protect the original wire. Maybe you can unstring and remove the original wire...

If the switch totally is removed from the wiring, then they are getting their power from another wire that is powered by that same breaker. Can you trace the wiring from the fans back to the breaker? Do you have a test light? I am no electrician, this the only way that I know how to troubleshoot.

To me it sounds like it maybe the switch. I would bypass the switch. It could be that the contacts are stuck in the on position.
