While monkeying with the bulb in my shower stall so it would stop flickering on and off, I shorted out something. Now none of the lights will work in my bathroom, my bedroom or the hall closet. And strangely, the outside light by the side door. All other lights are fine, everything else is working as it should. All electrical plugs have power, all breaker box switches are set to on, no fuses found anywhere to be replaced. I'm pretty clueless on this.I'm in a 1985 Rockwood Chevy Class C. Thanks for any help figuring this out. I don't have the economical lights and can't tell you amps from volts but they are the original energy-hogging bulbs that the fixtures use.

Look harder for the blown fuse.

It's not a breaker, it's a fuse. One of them in your load center is blown and you may have to remove each one to see it.

Your lights are 12volts. There should be fuses that protect the 12 volt side. One of them is blown. In most RV's, the 12 volt fuses are in the same panel as the breakers. They could look like a glass tube about 1" long, or they could look like a blue or red piece of plastic about 1/2 " long and it will have a number on it like 15 or 20. If you pull the fuses out,you can tell which one is blown because the metal link inside the fuse is broken.

RGar, some can't tell. I suggest pulling each fuse one by one and replacing with Cheryl's back up fuse for that string as Scott said. Test, move to the next one. Yes, Horton, she needs to look harder.

Yeah, I see those blue plastic things attached to the side of the breaker box. So those pull out from the breaker box or they open up and stay attached? Thanks for your help, folks.
