Patio and aisle lights out

Hello fellow travelers. I hope everyone is well.
Earlier today, I changed out our patio light. Straight swap of the old incandescent fixture, with the new LED fixture. Two wires on and off. Nothing to it. Immediately after the installation, I tested the light via the small panel to the right of the entry stairs as you walk in. It worked perfectly. Also on this panel are the battery disconnect switch, the stair control and the patio and aisle lights. A couple hours later I went to turn the light on and it would not light. I also noticed at the blue light on the switch to turn the light on did not come on. The same can be said for the aisle lights and their switch; the lights do not come on switch does not light up blue. These two systems are pretty the only ones affected. Please help.

Thank you!

Perhaps. I’ve checked the ones in the “power center”. All good, there. I’ll check the chassis fuses next. Is that even possible? Thank for the reply.

Be well,

Steve

SOLVED

It was a fuse. Fool that I am, I missies the blown fuse upon first inspection.

Thanks!

So now the question becomes... what blew the fuse?

If everything worked fine after replacing the light, something blew that fuse!

Hastily wired, I’m afraid. Left the fixture dangling while I went to grab some silicone to seal the fixture. Apparently it became windy in my absence. The wires clearly crossed and shorted, blowing the fuse. I’ve since patiently reconnected.

Thanks!
