If it is 120VAC, there may not be a junction box. Typically, there is a MOLEX connector to transition from the ROMEX to the "stranded cable" that is routed through a hole in the floor, through the "slide folding loom" and then into the slide. Often the cable is routed either inside the slide wall and to a surface mount outlet box. I haven't seen a "junction box" used to transition from ROMEX to "stranded cable" in many years. Reason, IMHO, is cost. The MOLEX is about $2 and the junction box, twist connectors and time to connect them, about $3.... Save a buck here and a buck there and pretty soon, it all adds up.

In these photos, you can see how the ROMEX transitions to "stranded cable"...

I certainly won't argue, you've seen many more than I. Would a Molex be used to branch a circuit? But the original post refers to "12 power" which I also took to mean 12 volt wiring so I'm still not sure what he has.

Oh, sorry gang. These are 12 volt lights that are dead. I suppose I looking for a magic spot where the 12 volt feed line (to and up in the slide) is joined by a couple of other pair of lines that run to the 12 volt lamps that are without power.
I THINK that I Might have located the most probable place for that set of twistlock connections but have got to go through the wall to check it out. Can't do it from the inside so will probably fire up a 3 inch hole saw and cut a loose hole from the outside tomorrow. When done I'll cap the hole as necessary and smooth enough so as not to foul the slide gasket.
Sure hate cutting more holes (made some for co-ax feed throughs) but it is what it is I guess.

I have the 2007 Copper Canyon 252FWRLS, and I do NOT have any 110 power in my sofa/dinette slide out. Just 2 seperate lights. 1 over the sofa attached to the cabinets, and 1 directly over the booth in the ceiling. I'm curious where this branches off myself.

AFOGJ, it's just me but I think I would get a mobile tech to take a look at it before I drilled 3 inch holes.

Before you start cutting holes, I would use an ohm meter and trace backwards looking for continuity.
