Bad battery switch?

[BrandonG]

I had a bit of trouble yesterday getting my AR195 started yesterday, battery was dead. It would jump start just fine but I noticed that even with the battery switch turned to the OFF position all of the accessories would still work. I'm fairly certain in years prior that with the switch off none of them would work. The switch does still kill power to the engine/ignition switch though.

Solved, the 20amp fuse was blown. Likely from when a captain error when I installed a new radio over the weekend. Do not cut a power and ground at the same time unless you disconnect the battery. Otherwise you'll likely let the smoke out of the fuse.

Glad to hear you found the culprit so fast!
