Bathroom Light/Fan Out

2011 Georgetown 378

So everything worked last night but now the lights & the exhaust fan won't come on. I've checked fuses & circuit breakers but everything's good. Any suggestions??

Thanks....Dean

Have you checked the GFCI outlet in the bathroom? The fan and light may be powered through the outlet.

It can’t hurt to check the GFCI outlet, but most RV fans and lights run on 12 volts DC, and thus are not powered from the 120 volt AC GFCI outlet.

You did check the 12 volt panel in the bedroom at floor level?

The other thing is check the light switch on the light which can be turned off and shuts off all.

Do you have a multimeter and know how to use it?

Checking for voltage at the fan/light removes the guesswork of whether the circuit is live or dead. It is a basic tool all R/Vers should own and learn how to use.

Yep I checked the 12 volt fuses & they are all good. The light & fan are 12 volt. No power at either one. All the other 12 volt lights work. Any other location for fuses besides the panel in the bedroom?
