Hi Larry,

If you're talking about the reading lights in the back of the coach, under the cabinets; those lights in our '78 have the polarity reversed. We still have incandescent bulbs in them for now, and LEDs elsewhere. Your Royale may be wired differently. I think John L. is probably right that the LED shorted out when it died, burning out the fuse. The short may have also temporarily "re-routed" the grounding path causing the funky switch problem. Did switch functionality return after replacing the bulb? Electrical challenges have been the theme for our coach as well this year. Lots to talk about at the rally this weekend. See you then.

Russell
