Forward Berth Lights not working

[Scottfree]

I have electrical gremlins on board!

I have no forward berth lights (3). The switch on the panel is on and the breaker does not appear tripped (same as the others). All three lights quit at the same time. Is it possible the breaker is faulty? Can it be replaced. I assume the panel comes apart to replace the breaker, if so are the breaker contacts accessable with a multi meter?

The wiring diagram in the R29 manual shows no other inline fuse or fuse terminal.

I do have 12v outlet power, TV, Stereo and added light and fan. These items are all wired to fuse block in the closet and fuses are all good.

Any suggestions? :?

Pull the switch panel and make sure that the terminals are all on. Lots of times the spade connectors slide off of the switches

I was going to pull the panel next time we are out and start tracing power. Next time I'm out at the boat ill have a look. I will post if I find it. Thanks for the tip!

Also make sure switch on wall as well as switch on lights are on. I added some accessories and had to wire back to,panel and can tell you from experience Ronnie speaks the truth about the connections as it took 3 times for me to get the panel back on with everything working as each time another connection would come loose. Good luck and I'm sure is something simple... Be careful when removing panel make sure you have power disconnected and your invreter switch off as there are 120 volts back there that can bite. There are plastic caps where it says 120 and 12 volts that snap,off to get at the screws

Good luck
