I went to drive home at dusk last weekend and noticed my anchor light wasn't turning on. The navigation lights do turn on, and the Connext display says the anchor light is on. The tower lights (which illuminate the interior of the boat) work, so the tower is getting power.

Is there a fuse for this anchor light? I can't seem to find it and it is not listed in the manual. I also couldn't seem to figure out how to take the LED light assembly apart so that I can put a multimeter on it.

I would appreciate in insight on how to troubleshoot this problem.
 
My question is “ has it ever worked?” It’s a new boat… I replaced my anchor light with a LED and it didn’t work. Turns out that the connection was wired backwards from the factory with incandescent thus the diode stopped the flow of current in the LED.
Go Dawgs!
 
Closing the loop here. It looks like the issue was a pinched wire in the tower. The light would work intermittently, but after I lowered the tower and jiggled the harness in the starboard tube the anchor light started working again.
