    Nitro Z20 dash power button issue

    Just picked up a 2020 Z20 and tested everything at delivery and then again last night in the garage. Everything worked fine. This morning main power switch at dash ain’t powering up. When I hit the button it lights up red but doesn’t power the dash up and goes out as I release it. I want to say when it powered last night as it should it lit up green and stayed that way. Batteries are fully charged. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    Check to make sure your main power switch (Red) in the battery compartment is all the way over in the on position,

    The red power shut off in the battery compartment is working properly. Im also getting 12v to the fuse block under the dash and several other places. Checked the dash power switch connection several times. Seems good. The power switch lights up red as long as I’m pushing it so it appears it’s getting power. Maybe simply a bad switch?

    U can try disconnecting the battery for 15 seconds. Assuming all power is going thru the switch I am guessing you have done this. Probably a bad switch panel.

    Something in the motherboard quit working. Dealer installed a new board and it’s worked fine ever since

    My 2020 Z19 pro has been giving me trouble my question is the dash switch panel plug and play? I started having switch trouble: no horn, nav lights came them self and one live well recirculate came on it self then none of the switches worked. I talked to a Nitro dealer he said sounded like a bad switch panel so found the switch panel online at Spyder Controls and ordered it. Can I just swap the panel out or is there a some type of programming that needs done?

    Yes, the switch panel is plug and play. Had to replace mine two months ago but luckily it was cover under my extended warranty.

    Had similar problem on my 2021 z21. Push the main power button and the dash would light up, then everything went off. Ended up being a bad 20amp breaker. 12.8v going in 2.3v coming out. Dealer took care of me!

    Thought my panel went out also. Traced it back to the 20 amp breaker also.

    Do you know where the 20amp breaker is?

    Just took off shrink wrap and hooked main battery positive up and the information part comes on but power button for touch screen to control baitwell just blinks red and it worked fine last year. I am charging all my batteries to see if thats a issue.
