Recessed Lights Mystery

On my Beaver I have 34 recessed lights. I am changing all of them to LED and discovered the 2 in the very front over the pilot and copilot seats don't come on with the others. I can find no switch anywhere. I even tried to find a dome light switch on the dash. Anyone know how to turn these on ? ( I did check with known good bulbs)

I have a couple of lights that come on momentarily using the keyless entry and opening the door.


Other possibility is map lights, I have a switch on my drivers side and passenger side consoles for these.

Like Jim J, we have a rocker switch on both arm-rest consoles. Each switches the light on it's own side of the ceiling.

Have you tried rotating the headlight switch? If you have one of course.

Yes It only brightens and dims the dashlights. May be time to breakout the wiring diagram. I don't need the lights but its going to drive me crazy not knowing how to turn them on and off.

On my '09 CC the one on the pass side comes on when I unlock the door with the key fob or tyrn it on with the switch beside the seat.
The drivers side is controlled by a switch on the center control panel.

One other possible wrinkle. Those two lights on my coach are the map lights and are operated by an identified switch, but they only work with the ignition ON.

Both of my Monaco rigs had switches on either arm rest (if you have REALLY long arms).
