Lights that do not work
I need some help or at least, some insight into an electrical issue that I have with some lights in my 2004 Fleetwood Excursion Motorhome.
I was replacing the porch light and before it was completed, I disconnected the wires from the bulb holder and saw a bit of "smoke". There was no injury to the fixture wires or the bulb holder. So, I persevered and completed the installation knowing that I would probably have to replace the fuse. The porch light would not come on confirming my thoughts. I then noticed that the entry ceiling lights were out as well. Then I noticed that the front half of the ceiling lights in the kitchen were also out. All other inside lights as well as headlights, running lights, etc. work as expected.
Understanding the seriousness of the issue, I embarked on finding the culprit fuse that I must have blown. Well, this coach has 35+ fuses in 4 locations and none of them is blown. I have checked each one twice with a meter.
So, what am I missing? Could I have a short that is not blowing a fuse? Does anyone with an older Fleetwood Discovery, Providence or Excursion or anyone else have any ideas. I am stumped.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
