Light won't... light!!!
I have a surge earlier - plugged in too many space heaters (yes, here in sunny southern CA) resulting in several circuit breakers popping (clicking off) and the inverter reset switch also popped.
I unplugged all space heaters, reset all circuits - including the inverter - but my bedroom ceiling lights will not light. The programable switch lights up when pushed. But non of the ceiling fans go on.
All bedroom lights are LEDs and all in individuals sockets/cans. All other lights and switches in coach work fine!
I've pushed the Salesmen's switch hoping that would reset things. No change.
Any ideas?????

1st you didn't have a surge. You created and overload on one or more circuits. Check you 12 volt fuses.

Yep. But not in mine.
Too late to check this out tonight. Most of my electronics are in outside compartments.
Thanks.

You space heaters are 120 volts. Your lighting is most likely 12 volts so I'm confused.

Monaco multiplexing will cause lots of confusion. Nothing is as simple as it seems.
Just For Fun, I don't remember your coach that well, are you saying you don't have an interior panel in the rear closet or where ever with the multiplexing computer and circuits?
John is pointing you the right direction, another cure may be disconnecting and reconnecting the batteries, make sure shore power is off and remember solar may provide 12V.....

You are ABSOLUTELY correct!!!! It was a 15 AMP fuse in my Multiplexer. And that is located in the bedroom closet fuse/circuit panel (if anyone else out there ever needs to know).
But when I pulled the fuse, it looked fine - no breaks or burnt visible area. But when replaced, the lights worked fine. Go figure.
Thanks.

Glad you got it? I had one that looked fine also. Learned to never trust looking at them. [emoji16]
