2008 Roadtrek 210 porch , and inside lights dead

[mangomike]

Hi
I'm having a problem with the inside lights on the passenger side. Starting at the bathroom .... The bathroom light, and the two lights directly over the passenger side bed/settee are not working. Starting at the center light over the couch/bed the lights work. And, also the porch light does not work.
I took a look at the archives and could not find anything that helped me with this. I have searched for a fuse/breaker that might be bad and have not found any.
Any ideas
this is a 2008 roadtrek 210 popular .... On a Chevy chassis..
Thanks in advance for any help
Michael

If you have checked 12v fuses in your power center, then can you check for power at the light switches? Easier to check there than at the bulbs.

Rare I suppose, but fuses can look good be bad, once here. I would replace the fuse involved because it is easy, quick.

and applies to some Pleasure Ways mid 2000's


there are DC circuit breakers which look like black sugar cubes- when tripped a "red" tab will project and the solution is to press it back in


In my 2006 Lexor van the tab is gray and hard to see unless laying on the floor
a quick look following the manual instructions for a red tab are fruitless


maybe roadtrek used similar breakers?

Yes, but they were automatic reset, no button.

Hi
it may be rare, but you got it in one. Put a different 10 amp fuse in and it worked.
I suspect that the outside porch light is bad, so now I'm looking for a replacement.
I would like to have it solar, but even more importantly I would like it to work with the switch only. In other words no motion activation.
Thanks for your help and safe travels

Hi,
I've got a 2004 Pleasure Way and had similar issues. Tried everything, and thought it might be a grounding issue, but had no idea how to track it down. Made a couple of guesses, took out a side panel of an overhead cabinet and was lucky to find all the grounding wires that were attached to the van frame pillar. A water leak had rusted the connections to a couple of those wires where they were connected to the metal post. Replaced a couple of the connectors, cleaned off all the rest, problem solved.
