I removed my sat dish and most of the large cabling in the top section where it came in. Now my Porch and Step Lights stopped working. The sep on/off switch operates the step but lost those two...All fuses I can fine for that circuit are good. Any Ideas???

Always go back to the last thing you did, check to see if a connection should be made but got overlooked when you removed the Sat Dish.

Yep, I have all of that apart...you would think it has to be in there...still searching.

You probably have the Kwikee (Lippert) step, so you want to check the purple wire coming off the step controller for 12V power to lights.

I think the removal of the satellite equipment and the step light issue are not related and just coincidental.

Thank you, but I'm referring to the step lights on the inside and the grab handle, plus the porch like. The only wire I cut were grey coax with 5 or 6 wire in them that I was sure for the sat.

Those two circuits may actually require a ground from the switches versus passing voltage.

Find a good ground for your voltmeter and see if there is voltage on the switch posts.

Grab a test light and use it in place of the voltmeter. The test light would glow on part of the switch and then on and off on another part of the switch when toggled.

If you find that issue then you need to either add a new ground or find the problem. It could easily be that you wiggled a connector that provides the ground. Been there did that. Look closely at the wires and you may actually see writing on them that helps.
