2005 Fleetwood Revolution Running Lights not working.

I'm having the same problem with my 2007 fleetwood revolution le 40v I've checked and rechecked all the fuses and relays wondering if you ever figure your's out

We had problems with the running lights and right side turn signals not working. Fuses and batteries and relays all good.

There is a big, maybe 2" round, plastic type grommit that goes through the fire wall under the entry steps to the outside front behind the fiberglass front cap.

It is there to make it clean and easy for the wires to pass through the fire wall. What happened in our case is on the outside where the wires pass through the plastic, it gets constantly wet from washing and driving in the rain. Along with the poor roads here in the northeast, the wires corroded and broke. So, sometimes they made contact and worked and other times they didnt work.

We chased that problem for weeks. If I remember correctly, we cut the brown wire marked running lights and the yellow wire marked turn signal, drilled through the plastic grommit and then ran a new through, soldered and heat shrinked it and never had that problem again.

Good luck, I hate electrical problems.!

I've heard of this many times with certain American Coaches.
However, on the Revolution, there is no wiring, passing through the under step storage.
Still betting on a bad ground return, in this case, with what the OP has been saying.

Thanks for everyone’s input. Always something to learn. I’ll keep on working at this.

Pulled every fuse checked, switched relays. Still no running or tail lights. Maybe relay in poplocks security system, only other thing that has to do with lights. Any fuse box found other then drivers compartment nothing to do with running lights. Rear rh compartment engine and transmission fuse box. Back to square 1. Security system might be the problem, hope! Thanks for your input.

I'm thinking more and more, that you've lost a ground return.
Open a tail light and use a long wire for going directly to the neg. term. on the chassis batteries.
If you'd like a wiring diagram of such, send me an IM with your email addy.

Try live chat with Fleetwood. They used to be pretty good about that stuff.

Had similar problem years ago in a Chinook. The coach, brake and headlights were powered from an additional battery. This battery was 'Supposed' to be charged by the engine alternator. The automotive relay that was 'Supposed' to parallel it to the engine battery while driving had failed. SOooo, that battery was not being charged while driving. Eventually, it went dead. No lights as you describe.

Drivers side compartment only fuse panel with light checked all found one blown replaced still no tail or running lights. It’s a Fleetwood Revolution LE bath and 1/2 model.

So a LE 40E, just like my 07.
Think I'd have another look see at the fuses and relays in that compartment. Look for the labeling and pull any one of them that looks even close. This goes for switching out like relays, as well and am not sure if the running lights have a relay in the circuit or not. RL8 is labeled...MARKER...so that might be it, if you're sure of all the fuses.
Don't discount the panel in the storage compartment, just in front of the filter bay, either.
Doubtful for it to be in the battery compartment, but doesn't hurt to see what is in there, while you're at it. It mostly has battery control stuff, like the big relay for closing the battery banks together and such.
Losing a ground wire somewhere along the way, will kill them too, so you might get a meter and connect one lead to a good ground somewhere else, while checking for voltage at one of the lights.

No panel in front under the windshield above generator??
