Help - can't shut light off

A few days ago we noticed the outside security light curb side front was on. We have no idea how it came on. We have tried every switch in the rig to no avail. Dang light is still on.

Any thoughts?

Is there a breaker you can turn off? If not, you could take the light bulb out until you can figure out what the problem is. You could also disconnect the battery or the power.

Just supposing here, but does your rig have a remote with it. Is this light on the remote?? I assume you are talking about the large round panic lights, on the older models, there is a switch at the steps that controls both sides, not sure on the newer models like yours.

Don't have the remote ourselves, but, IIRC, there have been reports here on the MOC that members have turned that light off via the remote when the inside switches would not shut them off. Good luck!!
Edited for typo.

HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME ON OUR 2010. TECH SUPPORT TOLD ME THE REMOTE OVER RIDES THE SWITCHES ON THE INSIDE. I AM SURE AFTER YOU REPLACE THE BATTERY ON YOUR REMOTE, YOU WILL CORRECT THIS PROBLEM

The remote. If it is turned on with the remote it must be turned off with the remote.
