Winnebago Adventurer 36Z Porch Light Switch Location?

[Ali R]

Firstly, I'd like to introduce myself! My name is Ali, and this is my first post here!

Today I purchased my first Winnebago coach. It's a 2020 Adventurer 36Z, and I am sure I will have a lot of questions about it on this website.

Can anyone please tell me how I can turn on the outside porch light? I cannot find the switch anywhere. I am talking about the light that is right above the door where the steps come out. Also, there are 3 light switches to my left while exiting the motorhome. The first two switches turn on the lights in the main/kitchen area... There is a third switch (not labelled), and it does not do anything. I suspect that the outside porch light is that one, and maybe it is burnt out? I am not 100% sure, and if anyone can help me locate it, that would be awesome! I can post photos later if it's confusing... Thank you so much!!! and I apologize if this is a repost... I tried to find this answer everywhere but could not.

Yes, we can likely get some info that helps! But along the way, I like to give you some hints on where I find this info and that gives you a big help for any future items that need help!
Winn does a good job of giving us online info on our big old beast!
That would be the far left of those three switches. All those three use the same feed from the fuse panels. That leads me to think you are more likely to have a bad bulb as anything!
If that is not the problem, the center wire on the switch should have full time 12VDC on it and then the lower lug goes hot when turned on to feed power to the light. If two out of three of the switches work, I would go first to the light itself and check the bulb first as the easier one to get to and those are also the more frequent problems!
Best of luck to you on the search.
Lots of info here and on the Winn home site but I'm in a bit of rush, so need to pass that info along later if needed.

New site that I have to figure how to drive!!

Welll! That bit of business was quick!
So some info on how to find things for later questions?
Winn home site and under "owners tabs for links to lot of good stuff:

Home - Winnebago

www.winnebago.com

Interactive parts drawing that gives a way to scroll all around to look at the RV for all kinds of parts and parts numbers if we do need to order parts. I mostly use it just to locate things I don't know where they hid them! It takes a bit to get the controls in mind but nice to avoid crawling around to find things!

Hi, you are exactly correct. There are 3 light switches inside next to the door. The one closes to the door controls the porch light.
