I was checking my circuit breakers and labeling their functions and when I finished my Docking Lights were on, both left & right side of coach. Switches are off, but I can't get these lights to go out.
It's a U295 and I don't know where to look first, but something must have shorted out and sent power to these lights. Is there a relay somewhere that I'm not aware of....?
There *are* often 2 switch locations for the docking light switches - by the driver's left elbow and over the head of the bed (you have to be lying down, then look up at the underside of the upper cabinets). Maybe the bed switch is on?
The relays are likely in front of the passenger seat behind the panel, 1 for each side. In a 2000 U320 it's relays 1 and 2.
The docking lights use a lot of juice and I've seen relays stick on. I replaced ours with plug and play LEDs and the load is now a fraction of what the OEMs use.

Michelle,
There is a good possibility that I hit the switch over the bed when I was playing with the circuit breakers.
I will check this and let you know.....
Long story short, the switch over the bed was indeed on and once I hit the switch, the IDIOT light went out and so did the docking lights. Much thanks to you for the assistance and confirming what my wife is always telling me that I have a lack of braincells.
Many answers on the forum come from someone who's been there and done that ;) Foretravels will give you lots of unanticipated OJT if you own one for a while.
Glad that's all it was!
