Lights in storage compartment.
I recently purchased a 92 Pace Arrow 35' by Fleetwood. There is no power to the lights in the storage compartments. I cannot locate the power source or fuses. Does any one have a clue where they might be located?

Look on the dash. There is a switch labeled Utility lights. This is the one that puts power to the compartment lights.
Or at least it does on our 94 Pace Arrow.
Hey FuzzyKnight,
Santee huh? You're right down the street from us. Cool. Anyway, I was only mentioning that the last coach we had, had a "Utility" light on the drivers side that did have the controlling switch on the dash but, the Utility light on our present coach, the Itasca, is contolled by a switch in either the water/dump compartment or, the electrical hookup compartment. And, the compartment lights on the Bounder were "single switch" controlled, just inside the door. Whereas the compartment lights in our Itasca are individually controlled by opening each compartment door separately. I like that system way better than the single switch one.

My 97 Bounder has a master switch near the passenger door, it is yellow. When it is on, then there is 12 volt power to the basement lights.
It is in the same rack of lights as the door switch, ouside porch light.
Funny thing is Fleetwood put a 12 volt porch light on the drivers side. Only switch for that is on the dash.
Your wiring might be the same.

Fred,
That "Porch" light you mention was also installed in our previous coach, a '99 Fleetwood Bounder 34V. I think it's called a "Courtesy" light and for lack of any other reason, it's used for multiple purposes on the drivers side like performing hookups or, disconnecting them at night, getting into the DS compartments without tripping over obstacles. We also have the same light in our present coach, an '04 Itasca Horizon with the C-7 330 CAT. The difference between the two rigs is, I can turn that light off and on from two different utility compartments on that side, the water/hookup and the electrical compartments.
As for the OP, Yep, the Bounder had a single switch that turned them all on. If yours is the same, you'll have to start at that switch or, find the fuse(s) for that system. Good luck.
