Mirror marker lights

On my 2004 Newmar Scottsdale, there is an amber marker light under each mirror. They are not working or I have forgotten when they are suppose to work. All my other lights are working, headlights, upper, lower and side marker lights, turn signals and brake lights. The power mirrors are working. All the lights on the dash cluster and switches are working. I measured the voltage into and out of each light and I get zero with headlights on. Is there a fuse for just the mirror marker lights? I have checked the WH owners manual and no mention of separate fuses. It does mention several fuses for the chassis builder and does not name them by circuit which is no help. Any ideas?

Do you measure voltage with turn signal on, thats what they are for.
You can follow wiring out of mirror mount into your firewall space and see if they are wire to your flashing wire circuits.

I looked at the marker lights with head lights and turn signal on. They do not come on. Tomorrow, I will check with voltmeter with turn signal and head lights on.

TX, Should not need the headlights on when using the turn signals.

I had problems with mine and finally pulled them off and soldered the connectors that were crimped.
They have been rock solid ever since.

You all are right. The amber lights turn on and flash when I use the turn signals.
However, to get them to work, I had to clean the corroded grounds and light socket inside the assembly. IRV2 helps again to solve problems. Thanks ..............
