2010 Puma – Bilge (A-10 panel) & DLX panel issue

[rlb8s]

My bilge stopped working.  Was intermittent and then quit – both manual and auto.  Pumps are good so I think it may be in the A-10 panel.  My DLX panel is now also intermittent with the red lights really faint when I push the button.  Worst case is replacing both DLX and A-10 panels, but I’m thinking there must be a loose connection somewhere.  My questions –

1.  Do these two panels share wiring at some point?  If so, where?
2.  All buttons on my A-10 work except the bilge.  Is there a way to test the bilge button to see if it is bad?
3. If the A-10 is bad, I noticed there is an ITI Premium Touch Panel that combines both A-10 and DLX pad functions.  Is that a better panel and will it fit my 2010 wiring w/out needing to rewire everything?

Thanks.

Check the grounds and other wire connections on the terminal block, which is located on the transom. This is inside the rear sump area. It sounds like a ground fault from corrosion.

Thank you.  I’ll look at the terminal block.

Great call. Replaced the terminal block and a few connectors that looked suspect, and both panels work as they should. Thank you!
