    Why is everyone pulling the panel off to change the light bulbs?

    The panel takes only 15 sec to remove and you can unplug it to work on and you won't crack your light cover trying to remove it..to change the bulbs or add a switch like i did in post #31

    I don’t know it’s pretty easy to swap out the bulbs and not break anything. Just have to disconnect the battery for safety. Wrap duct tape around the bulb and pull. And place the new bulb in and put the cover back on.

    But I’m glad everything worked out for the OP in the end

    It just seems strange the circuit board fried before the fuse blew. Isn’t there a 7.5 amp fuse protecting that circuit?
