Lighting problem

While getting 5’er ready, I found the 3 bedroom and 1 bathroom overhead lights are not working, this includes the Fantaistic fan over the stairs???
I checked all the fuses on fuse board and the fan fuse. I also changed out the old light for new led’s I found on line, 5 doubles for $44.
Any help getting these back on would be grateful
Thank you.

Could the battery disconnect switch have been turned cutting off battery to the DC panel?

If you just changed out the lights it's possible that one of your wire connections came loose. If all of the items not working are in the same electrical run then one disconnected wire could affect the entire run. Start with the item closest to the fuse panel just to make sure.

I am getting 12v to all 12v locations except the ones mentioned??
Battery disconnect works fine.
The lights and fan were not working prior to change out of new led light fixtures?
Purchased a new test light, will check fuses and try to locate first connection point if outage.
Still at a loss??

Believe it or not, I figured out what the problem was.
I haven’t used the 5’er for 3 years and missed an important detail.
While working on the bathroom lighting, bedroom lighting and the Fantastic fan, I totally forgot about the two switches behind the open door at the stairs, ugh, and realized these are the power supply switches that can turn those items off or on at the stairs, ugh.
Thank everyone with their suggestions trying to help me figure out what was wrong, lol.
Git power to the fan, to make it function, lol.
Happy Trails
