    Doorway Light domes and front Mirror light power / breaker source?

    OK team.

    53 Hatteras (77)
    Where to the lines to the Perko style surface mount dome lights lead? Looks like they don't have their own breaker? We are talking about the lines above the door way entry on the exterior?

    Similar questions. We have a light above the mirror in the crew/v-birth. It's not switched. Anyone know where it leads? Thank you!!

    Phil if your talking about the exterior lights on both sides of pilothouse doorways mine are controlled via the DC panel breaker labeled upper level lighting and has a switch on both sides for each light. I think the wiring goes up to the flybridge but can’t confirm. My V berth lights have a switch on the actual lights and a lower level lights breaker in same dc panel.

    I had the same problem. I do not have the breaker referenced. With all DC breakers turned off I still have power to those lights. My boat is a 1974.

    My wiring diagram shows that both the "door lights" are on the 32V breaker with the aft and salon.
    BUT I am trying to find where the wire is run

    It's in the fiberglass bow. Would love to find the other end!
    Head to the flybridge now to check it out.

    One of min is bad with no bare ends. The other one is hot.

    That is negative in the flybridge.
    Maybe the cable chase?

    My stbd light was bad and I found the connection under the light housing to be poorly crimped, lucky for me I could tug another inch or so to redo the connection. My switches are just aft of each doorway so they might come in to the pillar which is also a wire chase then to the switch then to breaker panel. Maybe try checking for voltage at the switch and do a visual from there to see where the wiring appears to go.
