chris alstons in dash panel, panel is hot but switches will not work. Is there a ground needed to the panel, panel is alum. Prob. simple just missing something, thanks for the help.

Are you talking about toggle type switches?
Standard switches don't use grounding, just power users like lights, pumps, fans and such. Switches with internal lighting DO require a ground, however.
What exactly is not working when the individual switches are turned on ?

standard off/on switch. botton attaches to hot bar and top to function. Bar is hot but pump and fans don't come on. All are fused.

You have juice at the pump and fans ? Are they grounded directly to the battery ? I use a grounding bar to attach all my peripherals to and run a large gauge wire to the battery.
Proper Grounding is the cause of a large percentage of electrical probs.
