First time post and new member here. I have learned alot from the forum since we bought our first TT about a month ago. Its an 07 Outback 28KRS. Im needing some advice on a wiring problem for light switch that runs porch and flood and ceiling lights.
None of those were working so after going through the fuses and seeing all were good I pulled the switch and low and behold.... The white wire that loops 2 of the switches together had come out of the connector! I put it back in and boom, everything works (to much applause by the wife) i save the day again.
Now for the confusing part. See pictures to notice where the wire crimps into the connector had gotten hot enough to burn the jacket and as soon as turned the switch on after putting the wire in it started to get very hot again. There is green corrosion all over those two wires. Could a poor connection have caused the corrosion and eventually the heat? So all i would need is to clean them up and rewire that connection to be good? The heat feels concentrated in that one area.
