Lighting problem

[jburgessx2]

Thanks to Gary, I fixed my problem in a few minutes. It was fixed by
simply plugging and unplugging the cannon connector several times -
the connections must have been a little lose or dirty. The cannon
connector for the lights on the 85 PT40 is located behind the panels
in the overhead cabinets close to where the curtain motor is located
in the living room.

I figured it had to be relatively simple since ALL the curtain lights
in the living room went out at the same time. So, I learned
something new today!

Thanks again for the help!
