Front lights inoperative

[Jerry Burgess]

Ryan,

I had the same problem with mine and it was the cannon connector. The connector is behind panels in the living cabinet on the curb side. It's a big connector that screws together and has about a dozen wires or so. The connectors become loose or get corroded. You can clean the connector or tighten the female connector side. I did that several times and finally my pin for the lights shorted out. So, I just spliced the wires together and bypassed the connector and haven't had a problem since.

Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Front lights inoperative

There must be a fuse or circuit breaker somewhere - all 8 of my front fluorescent lights on two separate switches are not working. Strike that - they do occasionally work, but for the most part they don't. If I turn the switches on and leave them on, sometimes they will just come on after a random amount of time.

Any ideas on where to start looking would be greatly appreciated.
