Last night the wife and I are watching TV in our coach. Suddenly all lights in the coach go out, and the TV amplifier goes out. Microwave, TV's, and fridge still operating. So,something in the 12v system popped. Finally find that the fuse for lights has popped. All lights are LED's. So, I replace the 10amp fuse and it pops immediately. So,I go to a 15 amp and it pops. I then turned off all lights and inserted a 20amp amp fuse. One at a time I start turning on lights. When I get to the light over my reading area, the light does not come on, but instead the light over the pantry comes on. My reading area light switch is controlling the light over the pantry. HUH? Turned off the reading area switch and checked the switch at the pantry light and it works fine turning on and off the pantry light. So,I put the 10amp fuse back in and put a piece of duct tape over my reading light switch so I don't try to use it. WTF? Today I'm gonna replace the reading light LED, Something odd happening there.
