Title: Light Fixture Fuse Location
Post by: bobkbusch on July 22, 2015, 05:28:19 pm

The ceiling light fixture in front of the microwave has stopped working.  I removed it and voltage reads 0 from the black and red wires coming through the ceiling.  I checked all the fuses and circuit breakers at the foot of the bed (2014 2350).  Is there another location for fuses for ceiling fixtures?

Thanks....Bob

Is that light controlled by a switch by the entry steps? Could be a bad switch.

Doh!  That was it!!! Why do all the other lights work except that one if the "ceiling lights" switch is off?

Bob,

You are not the only one to forget about that switch.  I have told Barry a few times that the light in the ceiling in front of the microwave is not working and he just reminds me that this light is controlled by the switch at the entry door. 

Our 2008 did not have this so I always left a light on when we were going to return to the RV late at night.  What I do like about this switch is I do not have to leave a light on and now just open the door and flip that switch and I can now see to enter the RV without tripping on anything.  A nice feature added by PC.

Bob,
I think I know the answer to your question.
If you leave the rig during daytime hours, you leave all the ceiling lights off except the one controlled by the switch by the entry.
When you exit the rig, push the entry switch to off to turn off the one remaining ceiling light.
When you return after dark, push the entry switch on to light up the inside of the rig.

Thanks Sue and Bruce!  The explanation of the "ceiling lights" switch function now makes perfect sense to me.

That is a funny story Bob.  How many times I thought something was broken with our PC only to learn it was operator error.  :)

Our 2007 does not have such a switch by the entry door.  We have just two switches there, the kill-all and porch light.  It would be nice if we had that 3rd switch.  It must have been a better idea implemented since 2007.

Now that I have converted all our lighting to LED with separate LED night lights, I suppose I could just leave one night light on all day to help us get inside after dark without tripping over ourselves.
