I have a 07 25RSS Camper and the light above the slide out does not work (over queen bed). I have narrowed the problem to the wiring behind the socket that provides power to the slideout. When I connect up a bulb the voltage out of the socket goes to 0, when I disconnect the bulb, the voltage goes back to 12. If I jumper wires from a different fixture, the light works so it is the power source/wiring not the fixture itself. I believe the wires for the socket go straight to the breaker panel but I don't know for sure for I cannot get to them. As far as I can tell the wires do not get spliced to any other fixture for I have pulled them and checked. Question how can I get behind the breaker panel to check the connections and is it possible that for some reason the circuit has trouble driving a bulb load? Fuse nevers blows.
This sounds like a clasic broken wire. The conection will feed voltage but any load at all will cause the voltage to drop to zero. Grab power off an adjacent fixture. Thats the way the factory would force us to fix it. Good Luck
I guess I will bring out a snake and try to somehow fish another wire to it.
I try and buy one of those toner/tracker devices to see if I can trace the wire. I also would like to get to the back of the breaker panel but have not idea how to do that.
I have 02 class a motorhome. my problem is i keep blowing a 30 amp fuse that controls the tail lights, clearance lights and dash lights after running for about 1 hr. have cleaned and checked the rear side markers and taillights. they were a little dirty w/ some moisture. but still blow that 1 fuse. can you help me.
Use the toner/tracker to find the correct wire in the back of the breaker panel. Fuse was labeled "BATH" which is on the opposite end of the camper so that was incorrect - led me down the wrong path. Anyway ground wire was loose so secured that and now the light works.
