LIGHT PROBLEMS

I'm sort of a newbie and the more I learn the more I find out what I don't know. I bought a 1997 U270 about a year ago & have put maybe 3000 miles on it. My problem that I have is the map lights do not work. The one above the drivers seat & also the first overhead light in the middle of the ceiling. I know the switch on the cabinet to the left as you walk in should turn on the overhead light but it does not anymore. I don't think the light above the drivers seat has ever worked. Is there another switch or maybe a breaker that would control these two lights?
Thank You for any help you might have.

Could the bulbs be out and need replacing?

As for the light over the driver's seat, ours works by turning the headlight switch to the left (don't pull out, which turns headlights on!).  The "map" light is the front end light of the six "hockey puck" lights under our overhead cabinet.

Barry, I had replaced one of the lights with what I thought were new bulbs. Evidently they were not because I bought some new ones today and like magic they worked.
Thanks for your help

It has happened to us all.
I will switch a working light with a bad one sometimes to rule it out.
