LED Lights Stay On
In my center console there’s 1 LED light that won’t shutoff. When I turn the switch off the light only dims. It has almost killed my boat battery, and even with the battery switch turned to off it stays on. With the battery switch off I can also turn the LED lights on which I know shouldn’t happen. I am just wondering what’s causing this one light to not shutoff even with the batteries turned off.

Do you have an accurate wiring diagram available?

OK, good. Can you direct us to which light is remaining on?

Sounds like moisture got to the light or the switch. We have had it happen several times. Takes a surprisingly small mount of power to light it A short fro
The moisture will do it |

It’s one of the CTSY lights, the one in the center console lockable storage. It almost completely killed my boat battery in two weeks. I was able to switch over to dual batteries and get it started.

Is the boat new or just the engine? If the boat is new, jumping into this yourself could void the warranty so it's best to let the dealer sort it out. Otherwise, a few tests may help point you in a direction:
