Short in Cargo Bay Lights Circuit

[Franksontheroad]

Out of nowhere I've got a short in the cargo lights circuit on our 2019 Dynaquest XL 3801TS. I'm hoping to get some advice on how best to bird dog this gremlin. FYI, this also affects the auto cord reel. TIA

You have determined it is a short circuit because the fuse/breaker is going open?

If there are multiple lights and they are daisy chained, and you can identify the first light on line, you could pull it apart and disconnect the downstream lights to see if the fuse/breaker stops blowing.

I would start at the cord reel. I would think that would be the most likely place insted of the lights. The motor may of shorted or possibly the brushes in the reel. I wouldn't think the lights would short unless they get water or a wire was damaged.
