Overhead LED lights quit working

I have a 2017 Columbus Compass. The light in the kitchen quit working after flickering for a few weeks. I check fuses, all good. I understand that they work in a series? So my question is how to tell which one is burned out.

Have all your lights quit or just the one in the kitchen?

They are not really wired in series like Christmas lights meaning if one goes out, they all go out. Not so.

They usually are wired in parallel and current flows to the next light even if one burns out.

Have you tested for voltage at the light?

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

I have read in a few places that some led lights start flickering because of faulty electronics that run the lights. The only real way to fix them is to replace them. Most likely you’ll have to replace the unit that is flickering. This is not isolated to RVs and also occurs in homes as well.
