Running light problem

I have a 2004 Allegro Motorhome. The running lights just stopped working so night driving/towing is not possible. I still have headlights, brake lights and turn signals. Any ideas on trouble shooting? The fuse under the instrument panel is intact. That's the only thing I knew to check out. Any suggestions are appreciated. Gia

    Is it all the running lights? If tail lights are working you need to find the main feed to the running lights. If just a portion of them are not working work from that feed. Either way to me it is either a fuse (and will affect tails) or bad wiring/connection.

    If all lights are out I would check the ground wire connection.They are all probably wired in series to 1 ground wire. See if you have power to one light.

    Be aware that on the Ford F53 chassis there are 2 fuses for the tail lights. One for the coach and one for the trailer connector. Make sure you are checking the correct one.

    What chassis is your rig on?
    Have you changed the tailight/clearance light fuse? Don't go by looks alone.

    The running lights are on the tail light circuit, you may have a bad connection at one of the lights.
