2000 Newmar Dutchstar - no rear signal lights?

[rkravontka]

Hi, relatively new to this. Motorhome has head lights, tail lights, brake lights, front signal lights, side signal lights No rear signal lights? I have checked every fuse possible. When hooking up my tow vehilcle i also have no lights on it as well. My question is - I assume it is a wiring issue? Has anyone got any quick tips before I have to get someone to look at it? Thanks!

Rick, we need a little more information about your motorhome - year, make, model, gas or diesel, and make of chassis. Motorhomes are wired different according to the above and we need that information to help you find the problem.

I agree with Norm. But my experience has been it'll probably turn out to be a ground.

Rick,

In your motorhome there are fuses and relays for the lights under the hood and over the generator. There is a plastic cover over that panel and once you remove the cover you will see the fuses and relays.

There are also fuses in a rear compartment and that is likely where the problem is if it is a blown fuse(s). Look the the bay in front of the battery compartment. You will see a couple of black boxes and the covers pop off. There are fuses for the tail lights and turn signals. I had a 2000 DSDP / Spartan, and I shorted the cable going to the toad and blew two fuses in that compartment. I took a long time to find them.

Good luck.

Just wanted to say thanks. It turned out to be a fuse in the back department in front of the batteries. Thanks guys for your help.
