Outside lights not working - 2011 Eagle 5th wheel

[ronyates]

Hi folks,

I'm new to owning an RV. Bought a preowned 2011 Jayco Eagle 5th wheel M-321 RLMS a few months ago. Have used it a few times.

Now, the outside lights, not the brake lights, or turn signals, or running lights - but the "porch" light and the light in front of the bedroom window - those are not working. Does anyone have a trouble shooting suggestion?

Thank you!

Kind of elementary, but mine operate off a separate switch that is either on or off.

Check the bulbs with a ohmmeter. If good check voltage at the light socket. If no 12vdc, check switch.

And check the fuses in the power panel. And Norty is right, if you know how to use one, a powerful friend is the VOM.

Mine operate on a switch also. Switch is on - lights are not.

Thanks Norty - excellent idea. I will test that. I think the lights not working is related to my outdoor electrical outlet also not working.

But it's interesting that on the fuse box I don't see anything labeled "outside lights" or "outside electrical outlets"

Thanks RedHorse1. I looked in the fuse box and didn't see a port labeled "outdoor lights" or "outdoor electrical outlet".

But maybe I should just pull each one out and see if there is a burnt fuse.

Outside light is 12v and the outlet is 110v. Completely different circuits and wires from the converter. The light will have a fuse and the outlet will be on a breaker.

Does everything else work?
