I'm just settling into my new 74 Palm Beach and discover no lights working in the bathroom. The fuse is good, the ceiling light works but not the bath. The ceiling light and bath light are on the same fuse. Anyone have a similar experience? Where do I start troubleshooting?

When I got my coach, one side worked and the other side didn't . Turned out there were no bulbs at all in the one side. You just never know with previous owners.

The lights are new and seem to be wired correctly. I tried new bulbs then a voltmeter. No juice. The fan isn't working either. It was earlier. It is also on a separate circuit. Can't find anything in common.

Have you done any work on the inside of the coach lately?

Had similar experience with my '76 PB, they would not work when the hall light was not grounded (I was redoing headliner and had it removed), thought that was problem then they stopped working again with the hall fixture installed. I ended up pulling the light fixtures and found the ground problem was with the quick disconnect plug about 1 1/2 feet in on the lines. Took apart and cleaned connections on plug and problem solved.
As far as the ceiling vent fan there is another connection above, you have to pull the vent out and chase the wires, mine was unplugged and taped off as the vent motor was shot, put in new vent and plugged connection back together and worked.
