You would either have a bad fuse of your light switch isn't functioning properly. Welcome to the forum and please do come back and visit us again.

Can you start the motorhome and what happens when you engage the light switch. Anything happening when you pull back on the stalk? Do you have signals? How about body markers?

Are you talking driving lights or coach lights.
Driver addressed driving lights, if its coach lights, you should have a battery disconnect switch on the dash or beside the door that may be off.
Also check the batteries.

You sure your trying the correct switch? My Pace arrow has a cabinet above entry door and there are 2 switches in it. They control power to house and engine batteries. Off = no power. Your. Cut off switch may be in a compartment in the stairs covered by carpet or many other places. Look for those first. Rocker type switch. Labels may be missing press them and they return to center. Mine are up for on and then down for off. I put new labels on them.

Hi semperfi1037,
Welcome to the forum. If you are comfortable using a meter, find the 12 VDC distribution fuse panel for the house 12 VDC. Determine if there is power to this panel. Once you know this, you'll have narrowed down the problem considerably. If there is no 12 VDC to the panel, the problem lies between the panel and the batteries. Next consider taking a meter reading at the disconnect switch. If there is no power there, you are well on your way to tracing the point of power loss. I do not know your coach so now a Winnie owner needs to step in. Also, consider asking the moderators to move this thread to the Winnebago Owners Forum.
