Lights over the forward bed lift

Have a guest camping with us and lowered the bed over the cab area of our 2015 Storm. If I remember correctly once the bed has been lowered about a foot a switch is made that provides power to the two led lights above the bed.

We lowered the bed and no lights. I checked for a blown fuse, no joy. Swapped led lamps and no joy. There is no power to the lights.

I know there is a micro switch somewhere that makes when the bed is lowered, but no idea where it is. Any thoughts?

In my Southwind there is a switch for the bunk lights inside the front overhead cabinet.

Not aware of a main switch, but will look a little harder once the guest arises.

On my '16 Bounder there is a contact switch on the passenger side of the bed near the rail for the bed. When it makes contact the over head light can come on. Mine have come undone 2x already. I now attached it with VHB tape and so far it is staying put. This is also presuming the overhead light switch (Drivers Light) switch is on AND the switch inside the overhead storage compartment above the passengers seat is also correctly set.

My Storm does not have a wall switch for the OH lights. Even though .one is working as it is supposed to, would love to see a picture of your limit switch location for future reference.
