Lights Out

Latest issue with new Jayco Precept

Series of four ceiling lights from kitchen to bathroom sink suddenly quit working. Tested switch over bathroom sink (controls 2 light) and found no power. Finally after much searching, with no info in manual on location of, found 12V fuse panel and will now test fuses. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I would also check the connections in the fuse panel. Wires have been known to come loose due to not being properly connected. Some are even attached to pig-tails using wire nuts.

Likely a fuse to that circuit.
Check for any loose connections as Grumpy states.

Let us know what you find.

Thanks dougtoms,

Checked fuses - all OK. Checked switch - no power. Will check connections, am opting for calling Jayco rep Phoenix in am since rig is still under warrantee. There's another issue as well now - a drip behind the kitchen sink that happened after encountering high water pressure at one RV camp. Possible that may be the problem (water shorting out light circuit?? don't know but will keep all informed. Been a learning experience in RVing.

Grumpy, thanks for suggestion. I'm now planning on getting with Jayco rep here in Phoenix to see if they can look at the problem under warrantee. There's also a drip problem to check out.
