No lights on LR slide

[DudleyDufort]

We're new owners of a 2005 Sea Breeze. We've figured out just about everything by reading or experimenting. There are just a couple of things that have us stumped. One is; we can't get any of the lights on the LR slide to work. We've tried individual switches on each of the three fixtures. I checked the breakers in the cabinet by the hall. I'm hoping that there is a wall "master" switch somewhere that we have yet to locate.

Does anyone have suggestions?

Thanks

All the wires to the main slide room are run on the aft slide support.
You do have your disconect switch for the house battries in the on position ?

[DudleyDufort]

Yup, the "disconnect switch" is in the on position. I checked the connections under the aft booth seat. They look solid. I also checked the wire run at the aft slide arm. No apparent damage there. So far nothing obvious. Today, I'll pick up a tester and start tracing beginning at the fuse panel. Maybe I have a bad fuse.

Thanks Richard for the schematics.

Sounds like a plan. Also check the light bulbs, do you have the 2 big lights and 2 reading lights.

There is a 12 volt circuit breaker on the lower right side of your 12 volt breaker panel labeled "main slide room". This is a 20 amp breaker that powers all the lights in your main slide.

Just in case anyone wants to know how this turned out.
The factory, inadvertently, ran a screw through the 12v lighting wire when they installed one of the slide's windows. Ultimately this caused a short and one of the wires burned, causing the open circuit in one of the wires. It was a lucky find. A local technician was preparing to run a replacement wire and pulled the window to do so. That's when he saw the burned wire. Apparently the factory's practice is to run wires in a trough around the window.

$400 later, all's well.

Glad that it worked out. Thanks for the update

Do you know which window it was? It might be good to know in the future just in case I need to run a new wire for any reason.

The supply wire runs around the bottom of large aft window.

Thanks for the info Dudley. I always wondered where the wiring ran up to the lights in the slide.
