Huge thanks to all who replied. I actually found a blown maxi fuse (20a) from a post that said it may be a fuse labeled in the ford manual as trailer parking lights. Not sure why it was labeled that because I thought Winnebago wired in the running lights. Any way I will replace the fuse and hope it dosen't blow again.. If it does more troubleshooting will be needed. - avanExplorerI had the same problem this summer. The fuse in the spot allocated for running lights was just fine so I figured it wasn't a fuse problem. After some time, I finally started checking all fuses both under the dash and hood. Turned out that there was a fuse in an 'unallocated' spot (per manuals), under the hood, that was blown. Replaced and voila, all worked. I've annotated my manual to now show that fuse box slot as "running lights". FWIW.
- j-dExplorer IIBy "running" I take it you mean the five red across the top rear, the five amber across the front.
Winnebago is a good coach from an even better company. You can look up your exact year and model to find out how the running lights are wired.
I've learned that at least some RV builders wire their "house" part's lights to special circuits on the chassis designated as "trailer." That would make it possible for the running lights on the Ford or Chevy fenders to light (being part of Chassis wiring) and the rear ones (in the tail lights) to NOT light (along with the upper clearance lights) being part of "trailer" wiring. - Cobra21ExplorerClearance lights work in conjunction with the tail lights. If the tail lights work it is most likely a wiring problem.
Brian - Gonzo42ExplorerHave you checked whether you are getting voltage to the lights and whether there is a good ground connection?
If those are OK then I would first suspect a bad switch.
