2012 Tige RZ4 Tower and nav lights won't turn off

[Grebva3]

My tower and nav lights will not turn off. I have replaced both relays. Any idea what to check next? I am a little baffled.

This might be a stupid question, but have you checked the switches under the helm to see if you have them forced on? Under the helm, mounted on the wall, there should be a row of switches for things like anchor light, nav lights, bilge pump, & ballast drain. That way you can force them on when the key is not in the boat.

I'm with Patrickk1, you probably hit those accessory switches under the helm

Yes, I have checked the manual switches under the helm. I had to replace the manual switch itself, it failed in the closed position. It's been a really strange electrical problem. If I remove a relay for the dock lights the nav/anchor light does not work as designed. If I keep the dock light relay unplugged it works as expected. Just yesterday it started doing the same thing again where the Nav/Anchor Lights stay even when manual switch is off and computer button is off...

If able I'd love for someone to take a pic of how the switch is wired. It's a big ask bc it's a pain to remove the required screws holding the manual switches to the way plus 1 wire loom screw which allows you to spin it around and get to the rear.

Strange issue! I had a similar problem once where the wiring harness chafed near the switch, causing a short that kept the lights on. Did you check the wiring all the way back from the lights to the switch? That's what finally fixed it for me.

I've ordered a new switch (again) and will check all wiring related to the switch thoroughly again.

New switch came in, after replacing it, everything is working correctly as it should thru the manual switch. Thru the Tige Touch (TT) the NAV button is not turning the NAV Lights on. The Anchor button works thru the TT. All other buttons under the lights are working. Yes, I checked all the fuses in the TT fuse panel. Any other suggestions or possibilities I am all ears.

Another oddity, I can't seem to correct. If I hit the all lights button on the Tige Touch (TT) then the nav lights turn on/off from that button. If I hit the Nav light button individually on the TT it still does not turn on the NAV lights. I have All Nav/ANC functions thru the switch.
