Mystery Lights? onan Genset parts

[Misty]

Hey all...

I keep meaning to ask if any of you have these indicator lights installed as I do and what they are for. I suspect they are indicator lights for the unipas autopilot (which I am all for rebuilding!) or the extinguisher system. Before I crawl around I wanted to ask.

I am also (finally) in the process of disassembly of my ONAN MCCK 6.5 (1983) genset. Any parts you want, come pick them up and I will shock you with my prices LOL. It ran a bit then started sticking. Will need cleaning out and resealing. 4-500 for everything fair? Guess I could ship too if you'd like to be shocked with ups and fedex rates these days.

I don't have any lights like that. But I do have 2 mystery red lights and I finally figured out they were indicators for the bilge pumps.

There might be something to that. One red and one green makes me think directional something or other

If they were wired in series with your individual nav lights and the nav light burned out, it would indicate that by not being lit.

I'm reaching here.

Interesting they do correspond to lighting directionals...

I guess I should also ask, what would you repurpose them for? I was thinking ignition on lights so I turn things off

I was thinking that as well... But it would make more sense if they were side-by-side. Up and down makes my think possibly ignition related. Red for on and green for start. Don't know.

IMO, It does not look like a stock configuration and I would not worry about re-introducing them into the environment. I spent about a year getting rid of the "gremlins" cause by "upgrades." and just getting the wiring back to the diagram specs.

They are side by side. The pic rotated when I uploaded it???? Since they are drilled into teak and kinda bulbous and Star Trekky, I will reuse them.

I've got nothing like that on mine...........you and your fancy gadgets.

I have two "Mystery Lights" too. one is on all the time and one is off. I also suspected they were for the bilge but i don't hear anything running. Going up this weekend to trace. I am going to start with the thru hull fittings and hoses to track where they go. Hopefully they will lead to two bilge pumps that are not working properly! It appears that there are two bilge pumps from factory? i found one that is direct wired in front of the forward head door near the v-berth, so i don't think it is wired to the lights. I suppose i could pull the bilge pump fuses to see if the light goes out?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks JKJ

Oh, Thanks for adding me to your group. I am a new Trojan F28 owner...

I had an extra large red light that I installed in dash and repurposed it to alert me that the bilge blower was on. Once engine started you cannot hear them run.
