thanks -- tried that -- it did not turn the light off. it did turn the small "spot lights" off -- not the lights on the front wall of the coach. if that makes sense. behind the wooden shelves on the front side. with bed down

thanks -- that turns off the little spot lights. not the light behind the wooden nooks/shelves where the rods supporting the bed come out of the front...
that is my @#$# light!
going crazy!

I have only opened the bed twice. I am on my way to pick my 2018 28DS from the shop.

Do you have the little LED accent lights on? The strips on the front of the coach? I think it also turns the FR3 lighted logo on

tried the LED light switch too...
here is a picture of the lights i am talking about...pictures looking from rear to forward -- above the driver/passanger, with the bed in the down position.
have tried the key lock switch, the up/down bed switch, every switch on the dash panel...this is really humbling the intelligence i thought i had...
thank you for any assist!

The only light possible then is the FR3 logo on the front of your coach. Otherwise it's just light coming through the front facia of the bus. Either sunlight or moonlight or road lights.

Would you ever really want to use these lights? Do they ever come on when bed is in the up position?

There are no lights!
It's residual light from outside and/or from when the FR3 logo it lit

I don't have any lights that are on in there... besides the map lights or whatever they are that are controlled by the dome light knob...

Curious as to what the light was. Any resolve?

Ambient light. No original source. Just don't park under a steet light!
