Not necessarily. If the switch has broken then it is possible however, these systems are on the same switch but have completely separate fuses and circuits.
So, if one of the systems is not working then we need to check the voltage at the switch on these circuits to find out if the switch is the issue or not.

I am attaching the wiring diagrams below for both systems so let's run through this info and let me know what you find with this.
Basically, we are looking to find out if you have voltage going in and out of the switch to find out if the switch is the issue so let me know what you find, and we can go from there. Thanks
