I was given the quest Mercer Safehouse by P.A.M. When I reached Spectacle Island I approached from the south and killed some mirelurks. Went into a boat on the southern tip and flipped a switch before I knew what it did. All the mirelurks came out and I killed them and the queen. I went to the center of the island and saw the workshop bench and tried to build where it said I couldn't use this yet. I see the note on the table that describes how the generator has to be activated. I flipped the circuit breaker next to it and it said "This breaker is not functional." Nothing happened after that and I couldn't use the workshop. I tried going back to the ship's generator and flipping it on and off but it never made any type of movement animation, so I think that might be where the glitch is, but I don't know.

I reloaded and tried again several times. I closed the game and reloaded but this didn't work either. I have no problem with putting in a console command to finish the quest, but I have no idea how to do that. I could really use some help on this, thanks.
