Elec. Problem

[mneighbours]

I have 02 Winnebago Adventurer with an odd electrical problem. I have no power to the left side tail lights, license plate llight and marker lights. The fuses are good and the turn signals work. Anybody have any experience with this type of problem? Any inout will be appreciated.
Thank you,
Mike

Try looking up under the rear cap for the ground wire. Winny has a habit of looping and hanging the rear wires to lights and this loop will move and swing around. This movement can weaken and or break a ground wire. I had this happen to me. Fixed the ground and tied some wire ties to keep the wire loop tight and secure and all was good.

If the turn signal works, the ground probably is ok. Try testing with a volt meter or test lamp from the turn signal socket ground to the tail light hot lead. If that works it is a ground problem with the tail light. If it doesn't work it is in the hot lead. IO would check the tail light in the trailer connector and see if it works there. Do you have the Bargman tail lights?

I'll recheck the ground and trailer conn leads and see what happens. Thanks for the help. It is puzzling as they were working fine two days ago.

This may be a dumb question but what are Bargman tail lights?
