If it is just one light I would think the problem is not a fuse. Have you been able to check the ground? I think you would just have to pull each fuse and visually inspect it to find a blown fuse.

I had a similar problem with a 12 volt light over my desk. It was a broken connection in the harness under the slide. They did not use a solid run of wire to the light so there was a crimp connection in the middle of the harness. Moisture was the problem, it turned green and broke at the connection. It was an easy fix, finding it could be a problem, I got lucky.

I had the same problem as Bill, except the other side of the trailer.
Rangehood and light over the counter quit working. It was also broken connection in the harness
just back of the slide. There were 4 wires, just wiggled them all and one came apart very easily.
gave a little tug on the connector and it also came off the other end of the wire.
Easy to fix. Hardest part was buttoning up the skirt on the trailer again.

I have one of the overhead (2 bulb) lights out. New bulb didn't fix it. When I looked closer it appears the connector the bulb goes into is broken. I haven't had a chance to look anymore (low prority). In my case it may just be easier to replace the whole unit - I think they are pretty cheap and standard.

We had the same thing as J H Sechelt with the rangehood fan and light. Ours was broken inside the junction box under the slide. The connection had pulled apart. I guess the wires were stretched too tight.
