Elect problem

[JMBCI]

Help!help!help! I lost all electric power to rear clearance lights, stop and tail lights as well as the top clearance lights. the middle lights work and the front as well. I cannot locate fuses or circuits for the chassis lights anywhere on the coach. this is a Spartan chassis and a 2001 gulfstream Friendship model, where should I look for a major plug or what please help.

Thanks for all of the replies, in the rear of the coach none of the lights are working. I will look for the ground issues, I will let you know when I find the answer.

X2 on ground. I would bet a weeks pay that a bad ground is the cause of most 12 volt issues.

I would begin by looking for a bad ground someplace. Fiberglass is not a conductor of electricity so they need to run ground wires for all electrical. You can take a wire and see if that makes the lights work. Connect one end to a good spot on the frame and the other end to the grounding side of a lamp that is not working.

your saying the 3rd brake lite(middle lite) works but not the regular brake lites,tail lites,signals or clearence lites.Kinda weird as if it was fuses it would be more than one fuse that run the 3 things.There must be a main harness disconnect for sure but odd the center brake lite still works at it would be in the same rear plug system(if it has such)
