My blower just stopped on my 165g. The light on the switch doesn’t light up either

it's either a fuse or the blower itself is dead.
check fuse. if blown, replace. hopefully that's it.
if the fuse blows again, the blower is seized or shorted. you'll need to remove it to figure out which one.


if the fuse wasn't blown but it's still non operational check the connections. hopefully something just jostled loose.

post here with results.

if neither of those things fix it, i would start working my way back. most likely with just a voltmeter, but check those things first and we can work backwards from the blower through the switch and back to the battery if necessary.

Has anyone thought to check the switch itself? I have power at my plug but the switch doesn’t illuminate and blower won’t turn on.

I got the same thing with no blower but also no bilge pump. Checked fuses yesterday but going back and will check what jb32566 said & switch. I also heard that the fuse distribution box could have internal issues. Going to knock it a few times with a wrench. Possible open it up and see what's going on inside.
