Not power to lights

Having a problem with the 12v lights over the island on a 2011 montana 3400rl. cannot find a fuse for it. The switch on the control panel shows power when turned on. Does anyone know of a wiring diagram for the 2011s?

Had the same problem with my light over center island. Turned out to be the a bulb. Just like the old x mans lights, one goes out they all go out. Found out after getting to the wiring, as the lights were flickering. New, all fixed.

You can always drop one of the lights to see if power is making it there. Power run would be to closest light towards switch, then branches to the other one. John

Put a volt meter on the bulb socket. When the bulb is removed you should read 12V. If you can get to the socket with the bulb in place and the bulb is GOOD. You would have little to no voltage across the terminals. Best to remove both bulbs from the socket and measure where the bulb makes contact with the socket.

You should read 12V at across each contact inside the light fixture.
