Winnebago 35C porch light fuse

The porch light on my 1999 Winnebago 35C doesn't work even after trying couple of new bulbs. Soo... I guess it's a fuse - but where might it be? I've looked at the breakers above the stove and near the floor below it.

Also, could someone tell me the purpose of the single, unlabeled switch next to the steps?

Have you looked at the wiring diagrams that are downloadable off the Winnebago Ind web site?

My porch light quit working recently ... I noticed that there was corrosion on the socket ... I used a screwdriver to giggle the inside ... and gave it a shot of WD-40 ... put in a new bulb ... there was light.

I hope yours is as simple, too.

MackInTX, If you have an Adventurer the breaker panel is above the microwave. If you have a Chieftain the breaker panel is below the refrigerator. The breaker is labeled
COMPT LAMPS.

Which 35C do you have? Adventurer, Brave or Cheiftan?

Note that sometimes the 12 volt popup breakers get a little touchy and even though they have not popped may not be making contact. Sometimes if you tap them a few times they will make contact for a while but will need to be replaced.

Here is the link to all the 1999 operators manuals that should contain all the information you are looking for:

I did what you suggested to the porch light and got a brief light. Then, after flipping the switch back and forth a number of times it began working. Must have been oxidization in the switch too. If fact the rig had been unused for quite a while.

Still wondering about that single unlabeled switch on the panel near the porch light switch etc.

BTW, is it customary on this forum to individually thank everyone that responded in some way - including a welcome to the forum?

Thanks for the wiring diagram suggestion. With that I ruled out a fuse since other items on the same circuit worked.

It looks like that's your front 'courtesy' light (aka footlights) switch. You can see it in View EEB-EEB on page 29 of the Body, Wiring Installation for your coach. The other switch for the same lights is in the bedroom next to the ceiling light switch (View EEC-EEC on the same page).

In case you didn't get one and even if you did here is the link to the searchable (searching the PDF can be easier sometimes than thumbing through a book) Owners Manual in PDF format for your coach:
