Lights Out

yep Burbman. I got my fundamentals on rv wiring sewn up. Just can be infuriating. Ala Clarke. LOL. Thanks again!

Great news! So all in all two basic wiring issues, not complicated, just need to go step by step and process of elimination to find the issues!

Glad to hear it!!!

I did it! Turns out the daisy chain runs thru the tail light. You know those holes that you push in the stranded wire and it pokes into the metal tangs? Well....I did not push hard enough. Did not occur to me to check the tail lights - since they worked. But the power came in and the exit was stifled...therefore no current going to rear passenger side panel and on up to top 5 rear ones. Thank you all so much for your help. You all really did get my head moving in the right directions. There will be a RV lighting come nigh time this evening. I will give it a big old Griswald smile.

brake lights and porch lights have been fine all along. They have to be on separate circuit. There are 7 lights in the back. Just lights for night driving. there are 5 on top back and 2 on back sides. The passenger side back rear actually works. This is what is bugging me out. I don't see any burned separate fuses. It is like a christmas tree strand when it stops at a certain point. I have half the panel off from previous contruction. It sure would be swell if the break is there and not above.

So no tail/running lights....have you tried the brake lights and blinkers to see if they work? May help you narrow this down some.

Thanks burbman. great name by the way. I feel better that I am not alone. lol. I've pulled all rear fixtures and the result is no power. So....it really means i have to know which one comes first i guess as the root of the problem?

Sounds like you made some progress anyway, you found one issue. Just a matter of pulling those rear fixtures to find the other problem(s). I feel your pain though, and have endured similar trying to fix something that wasn't broke....

Yep...ha ha....thats me
