12 volt power problems to porch and back bedroom lights Seaview 2000

[baustin]

I have no power to porch or bedroom side lights. where do I start?

Check the fuses on the 12 VDC distribution panel..... Rook

If you have a multimeter, check each wire at the light against ground. Your fuse panel distributes 12 (+) and the ground (-) is connected to the metal frame of the RV. If you haven't cut or damaged any wires, it very likely could be a bad ground connection.

I will try and remember what we did on one of our previous rigs when this problem was there.

The two lights by bedside & porch light had to have inverter turn on (I THINK) for these two switches to work. The control panel switch.

I hope I remembered this correctly. It would be very easy to turn control switch on and then bed lights. I used to forget to turn that switch on before bed light switches.

If this is not correct,I tried to remember!

Your porch light is 12 v and probably the lights in the bedroom. Check the bulbs to be sure. No inverter needed to power 12 v DC lights, only 120 v AC.

Check all of your GFI recepticles to see of one has been tripped. They can cause problems like this too.

GFI is for 120 volts AC. The lights in question are 12 volt DC.
