I have a 2 year old Jeanneau SO 37, the "switch-board" is a Scheiber 36.16200.
Recently I have been unable to switch on my bilge pump from the board. No red light! I opened up the back to see if contacts needed attention. I was faced with a formidable array of printed circuits. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Is it just the red light not working, or both the bilge pump and the red light? On my switch board 2 or 3 of the LED lights are not working, but the equipment they switch works OK. Unfortunately the switches are sealed, but I'm sure with careful hacking I can get in to replace the LED's!
 
The bilge pump is so important that if you can't fix the switch board I suggest
you reroute the pump wiring to a new heavy duty switch of it's own.
I presume you mean the pump itself still works.
 
Thanks for that, yes the pump does work and I will make sure I can use it. What I am basically worried about is there are a further 14 similar switches that could go the same way!
I have tried the SCHEIBER web site and posted a query but have had no response, I have tried before on the Jeanneau website but never get replies.
I am now trusting in Seaventures in Lymington where I bought the yacht from. They have always been very good and responsive in the past so await a reply.
I would imagine though they will suggest replacing the unit.
I posted this query to see if anybody had managed to repair these "printed circuit" switches. If they cannot be repaired they are little use for long distance cruising!
