2010 245RL electrical conundrum ...
this is really odd. I have 2 overhead lights in the slideout. One would assume they are on the same circuit. Circuit 15 in the DC panel is marked "Slide Out" and is an orange/white wire.
both light fixtures have LED bulbs in them, and now 1 fixture illuminates normally and 1 fixture is very dim. (Edit: Tested ALL LEDs in light 1 and light 2, as well as replaced them temporarily with incandescent original bulbs).
The dim fixture (light 1) reads 7.8VDC at the wire connector at the fixture connections when any load is on the circuit. Meaning 1,2, or 3 LED bulbs in the fixture and switch on reads 7.8VDC at the fixture.
With ALL bulbs removed, the fixture reads 13.8VDC when switched on.
With bulbs installed, the switch reads 7.8VDC, bulbs removed (no load), the switch reads 13.8VDC.
The orange/white wire reads 13.8VDC at the DC panel regardless of load or no load.
Removing fuse 15 disables the fixture (light 1 ONLY).
Light 2 works normally ... except ... it's not on circuit 15. Pulling the fixture down exposes a green/white wire.
Circuit 4, Kitchen is the green/white wire at the DC panel. Pulling fuse 4 DOES NOT disable Light 2 - it continues to burn ... oops, bad choice of words ...
"stays energized".
Thru trial and error, I discovered pulling fuse 2, marked Furnace, connected to yellow/white wire causes Light 2 to go out. The Fridge is also on this circuit, altho not marked as such.
So, anyone able to put all those clues together and make some guesses as what to check where?
The real oddity is Light 1 worked last season and nothing was changed over the winter.
Somewhere green/white to Light 2 is broken/cut between DC panel and before slideout, and then connected to (intentionally/accidentally or via wire damage?) yellow/white wire near or around furnace or fridge?
Bad + or - connection on orange/white wire on the way to slideout Light 1?
