Elect problem

Question

Help!help!help! I lost all electric power to rear clearance lights, stop and tail lights as well as the top clearance lights. the middle lights work and the front as well. I cannot locate fuses or circuits for the chassis lights anywhere on the coach. this is a Spartan chassis and a 2001 gulfstream Friendship model, where should I look for a major plug or what please help.

I would begin by looking for a bad ground someplace.  Fiberglass is not a conductor of electricity so they need to run ground wires for all electrical.  You can take a wire and see if that makes the lights work.  Connect one end to a good spot on the frame and the other end to the grounding side of a lamp that is not working.

X2 on ground. I would bet a weeks pay that a bad ground is the cause of most 12 volt issues.

Thanks for all of the replies, in the rear of the coach none of the lights are working. I will look for the ground issues, I will let you know when I find the answer.James
