The bow light and speedometer light doesn't work on my Challenger.  The light on the toggle switch doesn't work when switch it on.  I checked all the fuses and none are blown.  Any ideas?  Can you pull the toggle switch from the dash?  Also how do you pull the instrument panel/speedometer?

I believe the whole instrument panel will pull out after removing the screws. Then you should be able to gain access to each instrument and switch.

I have almost the same problem, just haven't had time to troubleshoot it beyond fuse checking. I'm thinking it's the bulbs though. Let me know what you find.

Any Ideas on why the bow light and dash light don't work?  Checked all fuses and they seem ok

The whole instrument panel has four screws. One near each corner. Once you pull the panel out, you should be able to access all the instruments from the back of the panel.

 

Hardly any of my lights were working (bow, stern and floor lights) and I found that each one had a blown bulb. So, I bought all new bulbs and some lithium grease to go on the connections and I'm good to go now.

I guess bulbs are the weak point since a boat takes such a beating with the waves.

 

Hope this helps.

The instrument panel looks like one solid piece.  I don't see any screws that can be taken out?  Any ideas on how to get behind the panel.

Don't know if you ever figured this one out or not, but....

Okay, apparently they changed between 2009 and 2011. Sorry.

I found this drawing. Not quite sure how the "dashboard cap" comes off. It does show some screws that might help.

If I were you, I would call the service dept of your local Seadoo shop and ask them. They would know.
