Fleetwood coach wiring question

[MM9995]

Hi,


I have a 2006 Fleetwood Southwind 32VS. The overhead light in the hall outside the bathroom is dead and I cant find a wiring diagram that shows how the wire runs.


I've done all of the obvious tests, Fuse, Voltmeter, etc.


Where is the power for the hall light coming from???


Thanks in advance.

I am assuming this is 12v lights. Lights can run in daisy chain. The issue can be at adjacent light or overhead fan /break in chain. I had pairs of wire stuffed and crimped one end of butt connector. Some if these just pull right out. Crimp tool and installers hand not strong enough to crush that end.
Also unless you run a ground wire you may not know if you lost ground instead of power.
Some member posted making a plug with wires and battery clamps and use an extension cord. You want an inline fuse in pos wire in that. Now you have you can use male end to test to pos or ground or create another plug with wires , test probes or mini clamps ect. Could also use cig lighter plug might want constant lamp rigged those plugs can be iffy.
Don't forget to mark pos & neg and be careful with power probes so not to fry anything. Powered testing is something I would do for lights ect but not probing unknown plugs pins outs etc.
You can also buy a powered probe tester meter for autos, trucks and forklifts. Still needs good pos & ground. Long ways away in MH. Our old forklift mechanic had one looked super handy I actually forgot about it until just now. You could swap from low impedance voltage tester/ "has some load" testing to powered testing. Now I think I might try to find one.
Here's one that's probably way beyond what's necessary has digital scoping WOW... if you scroll down there's whole bunch similar and cheaper less complicated.

Is there a switch just for that light, or are there other lights on a switch? Some lights also have a switch built into the light housing.

I have a wiring schematic for my 2006 Fleetwood Discovery if you think that might help.

I've had a couple request for the schematics covering my 2006 Fleetwood Discovery, so I'll post the one covering the 12 volt systems here.

Had a similar prob w/ 2005 Tioga/overhead light near microwave. Took to a shop and had them run a jumper wire from the nearest 12V power source rather than spend hrs trying to trace down the bad wire

Exactly, you could have a broken wire deep into the wall or ceiling. Much easier just to just jump it.
