Put a new bulb in just in case it was the bulb and still nothing. Any suggestions as to what to check on a 2000 Chase 263 anchor light. I do not see any corrosion where the bulb plugs in.

did you check it with a voltmeter? That will tell you if it is a switch in the dash, wiring, socket, or bulb. You need to use a meter or you will drive yourself nuts on nav lights. jh

My guess is the negative wire is corroded at the connector near the light or under the dash this assumes the bow light(s) work fine.

How do you get access to the end part that holds the bulb? The socket is inside the metal tube that extends over the t-top. I hope it's just a corroded wire, but I don't know how to get at it.
