Hello!
Have '01 DS with small "spot" lights above both the drivers and passenger seats.
I would call them "map lights" but neither the chasis or coach manual refers to them.
They do not work and I am assuming there is a fuse out. I can't find the fuse! Checked labels and used fuse tester on ever 12v fuse I can find. All else in coach is working and it is beginning to annoy me!
I guess I am asking for the name Newmar uses for them.

Anyone have any insight to share?

Thanks!

Do you have a dial to adjust the dash board lights for brightness, turn the wheel or dial full up and the lights should come on. If not press buttons on map light and they should come on.

Amazing!!

Thank you, Thank you!
Just ran out to coach and tried it. Turned the dimmer control full on and there they were!.

First time I have seen them on in the 1 1/2 years we have had the coach.

Sometimes just swallowing your pride, giving up your subbornness and just asking is the best way.
Now if I can just get the blood outta my brain from the hour upsidedown under the dash.....

Thanks again!
