Clearance/Tail Lights Not Working
We have a 2008 Winnebago View 24H and we're on the road this week. The 5 red lights along the top rear of the RV - clearance/tail or lamps (or running lights) are not lighting. I believe they are su...

I took a look at the diagrams linked above. Note that each sheet of diagram is spread over two or three pages in the PDF, so sheet numbers and page numbers bear a rather tenuous relationship.
The clearance lights get their power from the rightmost fuse (15A) in the fuse block on sheet 1, at B5. Wire TTN goes from this fuse to the relay contacts of the right most relay of the line, at D4, and the switched output of this relay to wire MM to the oblong taillight connector at A10, the square taillight connector at A11, and the bigger connector illustrated at A12 that is noted as being underneath the fridge.
The other half of this bigger connector is illustrated on Sheet 2, D7, and the MM circuit continues to another pretty big connector at sheet 2, D13, feeding the roof harness and located in the pantry.
The mating connector is illustrated on sheet 3, A6, and the circuit goes to the connector for the clearance lights around D5/D6. From here, the actual clearance light circuit is not among the diagrams in the document, but since it's two wires going to each lamp it shouldn't be too terribly tricky to figure out.
At any rate, if the fuse seems good and the relay seems OK, and particularly if the taillights are illuminating properly, the connectors underneath the fridge and in the pantry would be very good places to check. Indeed, if the taillights--and presumably rear license plate light--work, the problem can't be the fuse or relay.
The tail lights (and clearance lights) shouldn't illuminate with the daytime running lights. They should be on when the parking lights or headlights are switched on.
