    Livewell switch

    I have a 2005 Triton Tr-196.
    Need a rotary live well pump in switch.
    Off 1 on 2 on both on.
    Anyone know where I can get one?
    Thanks

    Well I replaced the switch and that was not it.
    I also stripped the wires back with new fittings crimped.
    Checked the inline fuse and all looked good.
    I don't get either live well pumps on. I get the lights but no pumps.
    They worked one trip then the next nothing.
    I am not the sharpest with electric but any input would be greatly appreciated.
    Also pushed all the fuses on the inside near the Hot Foot.

    Testing pumps would be my next move

    Yeah was thinking that but hard to believe they would both go at the same time.
    Wondering if anyone else had a sudden quit like this?

    Had a similar problem on my old TR20 which turned out to be a bad connection on the circuit breaker. The connections can get corrosion on them and will loose voltage under a load. The breakers are labeled on that side panel, find the correct one and clean all connections and see if that takes care of it.

    I was going to suggest the same thing, check the circuit breakers under the console. BTW, where did you find your switches, just in case I ever need some?

    Did you check the manual/timer switch for loose connections?

    Thanks to all the support but as dumb as feel, I found the issue.
    The wire had just come loose on the fuse box connection.
    No corrosion must have vibrated loose. Not off but just enough for the nut to back off therefore lose contact.


    Thanks to all. Merry Christmas!.
