Any ideas as to where to look next is appreciated.
Thanks

Just had a similar experience. Make sure all the fuses are firmly seated. I did that when my kitchen ceiling lights quit working. Just needed some moving.

Had a similar issue in our Georgetown 330 TS with the overhead light in the slideout dinning room. Turned out to be dirty blades on the fuse. A little polishing with an emery board and it has worked ever since.Our light seems to be the only item on that fuse.

Tom this sound s like the switch up front is off. Not the salesman switch. Here is mine. It controls the main lights in the ceiling.

Hi Phil
Tom has all his main lights just not the one over his dinette and sofa which are all slide related.
We are having issues with the ones over our loveseat. They stopped working and then every once in a while they come on. I think it is a loose connection on one of the butt connectors. FR is notorious for having loose connectors not being sufficiently crimped. Not about to take apart now and investigate.

How is your knee doing. I hope you can get around without too much pain soon.

Hey guys...... My bedroom ceiling lights won't work.... I can turn on the wall switch and nothing... But 20 mins later lights come on....

Next time they'll come on and the next time they won't....

A little frustrating....

Join the club! Seems these issues are getting real prevalent all of a sudden and I really don't like it.

I couldn’t remember what lights the 14’s had. I mention it because I hit that switch by my and it takes a minute to figure out why the lights will not turn back on. I agree loose connections could be a nickname for FR. Lol. Knee is coming along. Just the thought of a revision was tough. It will work out fine. Just another bump.

Phil, my doctor says that I need both knees and shoulders replaced. Very reluctant to do it at this time. Doctor says that when the pain gets unbearable that I will get the surgery. Not at that point just yet so I am holding off for now!

Tom, thought sure you would have this fixed by now. Guess Mickey has priority. Skip

Skip, as I mentioned before, the pain is not yet to the point that it is unbearable. I pop a pain pill at night and I can sleep fairly well. That is the main objective for me! The reason I have not had my shoulders done is because I sleep on my stomach. If I can't roll over to my stomach, I would literally go crazy (LOL!)

Tom, who needs those lights anyways. LOL. Ready for a new one, on the shift selector push D and goes in neutral, Push R does nothing, Push N goes into reverse, push arrow down goes into drive. New shift selector $400, labor to figure it out $600. But we out for our 3 month trip. Sorry about your pain and hope you get it taken care of sooner then later. Skip

Skip,
Sounds like your $1000 pain is worse than my pain at this time. Hope the rest of your trip is smooth and trouble free!
Tom
