Default Interior light wiring

We just bought a 1996 2720 TM. We found that the front interior lights do not work. (1 on the roof, 2 on the walls..front meaning toward the Tow Vechicle.) The rest of the interior lights (back) work.

Does anyone know where to check? Did they wire these lights in series...so if one goes out it kills the rest on that side?

Thanks,
Ryan

In the roof vent closest to the front of the TM you should find a small black knob. Rotate it one click. Clockwise I believe.

This is a secondary switch to the font reading lights.

We all would like to have a dollar for everyone that has been fooled by this.

LOL... If I was taller it would have hit me in the head. Then maybe I would have seen it.
Thanks for the quick reply.

The wall lights might still not come on even rotating the black knob. If after turning the knob with no results, try rotating the bulbs in the sockets. You probably also have on/off knobs on the fixtures themselves. We always try to leave them in the 'on' position, and use the black knob to control the lights.

These 12 volt light fixtures are notoriously finecky. I keep threatening to replace them, as some other members have, but I always seem to find something else that needs attention The ceiling light might just be a burned out bulb.
