Bedroom Vanity Light Fuse

Hi All,
  Does anyone know where the fuse for the bedroom vanity lights/lamps is located? My coach is a 1997 U320.
Thanks,
Raymond

I would think those are tied in with other lights in bedroom and on mine that fuse panel is on the front face of the bed frame under the drape. Small brown box with flip open cover and about 10 spade fuses in it.

Raymond,

At the foot of the bed should be a small black fuse box.  Use a dime or penny to open the door.  On ours the second fuse is "Vanity Lights, Engine Light".

Thanks John & Doug. That was the location. The fuse was fine. The bottom of the light socket has those little metal tabs for electric connection. I guess over time they had been pushed down to often. One no longer contacting the bottom of the bulb. Just a little pull, toward the top, and all was fine.
Thanks again,
Raymond

If you have a fixture that is otherwise OK, but spring tension on the center electrode of the bulb is inadequate to keep good electrical contact with the bulb, there is a cheap and easy fix.

Just add a spot of solder to the bulb contact point.  Proper spring tension on the bulb reestablished.

Thanks Brett. I think that would have been easier. It is a pia to reach down into the socket, with the tweezers, and hope you move the piece just enough!

Am using a dab of RTV under the contact to offer some support, so far so good.
Used a tooth pick and good magnifier glass to sharpen my reading googles.
