Light shorts fuse?
Here's a very odd wiring issue ... lighting ... Will try to explain without photos. Light # 1 .... this is a 'metal cone shaped reading light' - above the bed. You can aim it, but it gets hot (...

It sounds like you have the two wires going directly across the switch.
Which means the ceiling light is shorting itself - because I wire-nut the white to white and black to black.
The ceiling light was working fine before all this - but they're cheap and could short across.
But, the fact that black to black and white to white would be everywhere in the camper, right. It wouldn't be black to black some and white to black others? Which makes no sense, except when I took off the old one, it was black to black too - as was the ceiling light.
So, if all this is true (which it is) the short must be coming across the ceiling light fixture switch.
I'm buying a new reading fixture tomorrow, regardless, but was very puzzled why the working light shorted ... no reason for it that I can see. But am not electrician either, nor did I build this camper and wire it, so who knows what is inside. :h
