Docking lights won't shut off
2011 Keystone Cougar 318SAB with LED docking lights.....
The lights will NOT shut off. Thought maybe the switch was bad?? NOPE.
I took the leads off the switch, kept the wire contacts separated, and the lights STILL stayed on.
Called my dealer and spoke with a mechanic there. The mechanic said he didn't know how that was possible and had no clue.
Anyone ever have this problem??
Thanks,
Phil

Pull each of your fuses in the fuse panel one at a time and see if they go out. Then you might be able to tell which circuit they are wired into rather than the one they are supposed to be wired in to.

Docking lights
Check the remote. We went through the same issue, the remote needs to be used to turn them off.

WOW!
JJE1960........Thanks so much.
That was the issue. I had played with the remote and pressed the docking light button.
I totally appreciate your help.
Regards,
Phil

Did the same thing! Wish the remote control panel had a timer that turns the docking lights off after some pre-set period of time.

Docking light switch won't shut off
Thanks folks I noticed this issue the 2nd night I brought the new camper home. It's 11 PM and I'm running around trying to find a switch to shut off.
Finally did a search on the internet, found and joined this forum right after I found the remote and shut the light off. The mechanic doing the demo used the remote.
