On my RV there is a switch by the exit door that controls the compartment lights. That switch has to be on before any of the compartment light switches will work.
It's so you don't accidentally leave your compartment lights on and run down the battery.

Still getting used to these newfangled plastic fuses. My mind still thinks fuses should be glass tubes with metal ends and a wire inside...yeah I'm old...
On a more serious note, apparently there are new fuses available with a little LED inside that lights up if the fuse blows (that somehow seems backwards) so you can immediately find the blown one...

$4.11 for a 15 amp fuse with an LED in it is a bit pricey, especially if you are blowing them left and right.
