2024 Riverstone Legacy 39RKFB - all of sudden lights in the large living room/kitchen slide lights dont work. It consists of 2 pot lights and a dinnette light. Electrical outlets in slides work, just the lights dont work. There are 2 swithches for lights and neither work. Wall panel that we can turn dinnett light on also doesnt turn those lights on. Fuses are fine.
 
These newer units can sometimes have wireless switches. Do you know if your switches are wireless?
The battery in them can go dead but it usually flashes on the touch screen telling you so.
What control panel turns them on? Do you have FireFly or something else?

Can you post a photo of the switches and control panel?
 
Plugs are 120v. I wonder if the built in lights are 12v, I would suspect they are so they work when not connected to power. More efficient that way. May have to look for the 12v fuse panel.
 
We had light issues with our unit after towing it home. The lights in the bathrooms were not working. It turned out to be a loose ground in the wiring in the ceiling. Lucky they were able to access the bad connection through one of the can lights. Maybe try jumping a ground to verify.
 
You can use an electric meter to show continuity from the socket ground to a known good ground that is close. Can also check if there is power from the positive side to known good ground. That way you know which side to follow. Ground side fix is easier :) .

Usually the overhead lights operate on 12v from the battery when you're not plugged into shore power.
If you're plugged into shore power and the lights don't work, check the fuses and circuit breakers.
If you're not plugged into shore power, do the above and check your battery.
If your battery disconnect is on and you're not connected to shore power, the lights won't work because they aren't powered from the battery.

If the above doesn't apply, then you're going to have to check for a bad electrical connection in the lights themselves.
