2008 Fleetwood Providence 40x porch light has no power

I have just changed out my porch light only to discover that there is no power reaching the lamp, all the other lights work when the porch light switch is turned on, I have checked all the fuses I could find but they are all good, any ideas would be appreciated ??

    Did you turn the switch on the fixture itself ON. On the Bigfoot there is a little slide switch on the exterior light fixture, as well as the interior light switch. It isn't all that noticeable, but some fixtures do have the switch. The one on my trailer doesn't have the switch on the fixture.

    You may want to open up all the other fixtures since that are on the same switch. Good chance the lights are daisy chained together. Might be open in one of the other locations.

    We all assume you removed the actual fixture and checked the connection in back where the fixture is connected to the wiring.

    I did test the supply no power getting to the lamp, all other lights connected to the switch are working.

    The sockets in those lights are not known for their durability. Check with a meter and see if the wires actually have power to them. Might just be connection to the fixture.
