Aluminum radar arch wiring

[Jetmech]

Has anyone had any experience with wiring for the anchor lights in the radar arch. I’ve pulled both panels port and starboard and can’t seem to find the wiring routing to troubleshoot my anchor light. I’ve ruled out the switch and wiring at the switch ( have power there).

Have you measureto seeif there is power at the light fixture socket?

[Jetmech]

Yes, no power at the socket, my question wasn’t probably as clear as it should have been. Does the wiring get routed internally through the hull fittings or does it exit the tubes at the connection point and should be visible where it would re enter the boat?

To my knowledge that is not a factory installed arch, only fiberglass ones were used so it depends on what whoever installed it did.

Those models had an option wakeboard tower...
I haven't seen many, but it was factory OEM option.

Since the forward legs of the tower are meant to be detached to fold the tower down, I'd expect any wiring to be routed thru the aft supports/legs.
Also, given that the nav light fixture without the tower is port-side aft, I'd start there looking for the splice that would add the wiring run to the arch.

You should be able to locate the underside of each arch mounting point. Look underneath. You should find the one with the wire.

Thanks everyone for the advise. I found the issue. The wire was external and was cut and stuffed up the tube. Previous owner must have had a reason, now I know what to do. Happy boating.
