I have na '03 Dutch and in storage with AC, I left the Ceiling bedroom light on. The flourescent tubes burnt out. I replaced them, but still have no lights. The new tubes work in the kitchen. Could the fixture be bad? The wall mounted lights work, the fuse is fine for those lights obviously. Am I missing something??

Thanks in advance.................Fritzo

Fritzo, I'am no expert but it could be that something burnt up in the fixture, since the new bulbs work in the kitchen. Ed.S

Fluorsecent lights require high voltage to light off. They use a ballast (transformer) to pump the voltage up. Chances are you may have a bad ballast in the light but first I'd check for input voltage at the light in case the switch is bad or it's just a bad connection.
