Rear radio and bed lights question

I have a radio installed in the passenger side bedroom cabinet and two florescent lights above the bed.  These were installed at the factory as original equipment.  Neither work.  Everything else does.  Fuses are also OK. I have checked the wiring in the cabinet above the bed and everything is OK.  Before I dive into the wiring and start dismantling the coach would anyone know where they are fed from?  There is no obvious source.

If it is a sony radio, did you check the small fuse in the back of the radio? You have to remove the radio to find it. No help on the lights

Thanks Steve.

I will check that fuse.  Hope I can get to it by sliding the radio from it's sleeve.  Can't see how to get at it otherwise.  I tried removing the screws in the shelf above the radio but nothing would move.  They sure build these Foretravels in a mysterious way!

Some radios have a frame installed, with the radio sliding into this frame.  Usually have a snap-off outer appearance fixture.  The after-market radios usually use two 'specialty tools', one on either side to depress the pins that hold the radio in the frame.  These are just a thin piece of metal that fits between the frame and radio and allows the radio to slide out of the frame by depressing the retaining pins.
