Title: light switch?
Post by: hdff on November 14, 2017, 08:00:34 pm
I have a light above the fridge on my u320 40', it has straight bulbs about a foot long with 4 pins on one end that connect it to the fixture that doesn't come on. the same fixture is in the bathroom to the right of the sink on the ceiling that works so I switched the bulb and it didn't work with a known working bulb... and it still didn't work. I had , I think, every switch in the coach on, did I miss one or is the ballast/fixture bad or did I miss the switch????  I forgot to take a pic of it

Keith,
You should be able to check it for 12V voltage at the ballast.  I have a light above my fridge and the switch as under the cabinet above the dining table.

I have a light in the same spot. The switch is over the sink, next to the light above the sink.

Ok checked today and yes there are 2 switches above the sink, one for the puck lights and one for the big floursent but not the one I'm trying to figure out. The one I can't figure out is above the pull out pantry and has a twin just inside the bathroom door that works. Here is a pic

On my '99 the switch is under the cabinet opposite the refrigerator right below the voltage monitor.

If you mean the upper hutch part, that was my thought as well.  There were 2 switches in our '03 on the underside of the upper hutch - one for the under cabinet lights and the other for the ceiling fixture.

My '99 has the same 2 switches. And the switch for the overhead light is the only one that works it.

Like Michell said, should be two switches underneath the upper hutch.
