Left switch housing dead
Is there a common power or something that would effect all of them?
That is the side that I pulled most of the way through and my pull cord broke when it was almost all the way through so I had to pull it back out and back through again. So it's possible that I damaged the wires but what are the chances that none of the wires work?

If I remember correctly, there is a larger orange wire that supplies power to the switch housing. The best bet would be to pull the tank again and start checking for power at the connector and then check for proper resistance through each of the wires leading to the housing. Also, be sure to double check all of the fuses.

An open wire will not blow a fuse. A bare wire touching will.

Now check each wire to ground for a short.
