The LED strip lights below the bed are not working.
Where do the wires go once they exit through a hole in the fiberglass?
The wall switch won’t pull out to test for power because the wires seem too short.
Suggestions?
 
Great question. I’m having the same issue only 2012 R29 Ranger Tug. If I figure it out I’ll post on this thread.
 
I’m 90% certain that the wire is disconnected at the light switch but there is not enough slack in the wires to pull the switch out far enough to re-attach it. I am cautious not to disconnect the main lights as it could be really a problem if the wires fell into the wall there.
 
I'm looking at your owner's manual, pages 11 and 33.. It looks like they draw power from your V-berth lights.
Check your DC breaker to make sure that V-berth Lights breaker is not tripped.
The wires for the light should run down the starboard side. Power should be blue with a white stripe, ground yellow.
There should be a hatch or drawer that lets you see inside the bed pedestal.
If the other V-berth lights work, then it is most likely a loose ground.
