Ceiling light question
« on: June 17, 2022, 06:40:03 pm »
My 2016 PC 2552 with LED light in the ceiling above the refrigerator has stopped working.  I first checked power to the bulbs and no power.  Next I removed the fixture to check if I was getting power to the switch and no power there.  Since the wiring runs above the headliner and probably inside one of the walls I don’t have any idea as to where it ties into the light supply wiring.  All the other interior lights work fine. I certainly could use some help as to where to start looking for the wire junction.

I am completely throwing this idea out there without any facts to back this up.

Maybe Phoenix daisy chained the power from one light to the other and it disconnected somehow at an adjacent light.  Remove the lights on each side of the dead one and see if there are multiple power wires wire-nutted together.  If so, make sure the connection is good.

In my 2020 2552 the ceiling light over the fridge is controlled by a switch at the entry door.
Yours may be too?
If the switch appears to be on you may want to check for power there.
If that doesn't get you anywhere, you might want to check the 12V fuses in your electric panel below the PS bed.

Good luck!

Agree with Jim.  Power for the switch located on that light fixture feeds from the switch on the sidewall left side of entry.  That enables you to leave the fixture switch on and switch on a light at night as you enter the coach.  I believe that feature was in place on the 2016 models.  The entry switch must be on before you have power at the fixture switch.

OK, FANDJ, I fess up.  I have done the same thing you did.   I just always have left the switch on and used the switch on the light.  I suspect I bumped the entry switch or hit it when I meant to hit the stair extension switch.   

OK, I'll really fess up.   I have done it more than once over the years and always forget to check it first.   My excuse is my mind is older every time I pull that trick.    :help

I have had my share of "operator error" problems myself.  I don't feel so alone now.
