A loose kill switch wire on your out board motor will cause the engine to lose power. As the kill switch loses contact the motor will begin to bog down or completely quit.

I Have two storage heaters where when being used the pole switch switch becomes warm hot is this normal?
A switch becoming hot is not normal. The cause could be loose connections where the wires join the switches terminal points. This could be the cause of the heat being generated. Misalignment of the switch blades inside the switch can also cause the heat to appear. Another cause could be that the heater loads are higher that the amp rating of the switch. Switches have a label on the side of them rating what the current carrying capacity of the switch is and what the maximum amount of current that the switch can legally tolerate.
What would cause a fuse to blow when turning the light switch off if you have 3 switches hooked up in your bathroom and the power blows every time you turn the switch off but not while it is on?
Is it just one switch that causes it or do they all cause it? Sometimes a switch will cause a surge when turned off because electricity will arc inside the switch trying to continue powering the device. This can be seen if you unplug an appliance while its still on: you'll see an arc at the outlet. Loose wiring at the switch or anywhere on the circuit will cause this as well.

Answer 1 - Instrument Lights Operate IntermittentlyWithout doing a "hands on troubleshooting" of your vehicle, no one here can be certain of the specific location and cause of your problem. However, based on your question, I suspect that the cause is a loose connection in the circuit providing power to the instrument lights, or on the instrument panel circuit board itself.It is possible also, that the instrument panel dimmer switch is wearing out.Answer 2 -The dash dimmer switch or the headlight switch is the most likely problem.
