No power to door light switch.

So the latest, now the kitchen lights don't work at all. I pulled the switch panel and no power to that switch. Fuse is good? Any ideas why there is no 12 volt to the wall switch or the door switch?

Check the wire in back of the 12V fuse panel for a good connection. If that is OK it could be a broken or shorted out wire. I had that problem in my large slide and had no power to my lights over the dinning room table or in the
lights under the cabinets above the coach. Found a frayed wire that was run in the underbelly of the slide.

Steve,
As Steve has already indicated check for a broken and or loose wire. With the 12 volt stuff very often there is a broken and or loose GROUND wire. That seems often to be the reason for power failure. Good luck and let us know what you find. Thanks, Dennis.

Thanks guys, I intend on checking for loose or ungrounded wires when we return to Ohio. I was really hoping it might be something simpler, yes sure, that I could fix while on the road.
I really hate to look at the back of the 12 volt panel while we're out here. Utah today and west in a couple days.

Panel comes out real easy....4 screws and it pulls right out - 10 minute job!

Please just make sure that the 12 volt supply is turned off by using the lock-out in the Convenience Center and flip the breaker to "off" on the converter.
