Wells Fargo Inside Lights Not Working
Question:
Hi! My battery is new and the inside lights don’t work. There is a wall switch as well as each of 3 fixtures has a switch. Nada on any of them. I can’t find a fuse, oNly 2 junction boxes. Any other ideas? It’s wires straight into the frame and up to the inside ceiling. I can’t see any wires not do i have any reason to believe they are damaged.

If other components are working, your battery is not the problem. It sounds like a blown fuse. I would check the lights to see if they are getting power using this multimeter # PT89ZR. If you do not have power there, go to your switch and see if the power is getting that far. If there is still no sign of power, continue this process down the wiring harness to find the problem area. Once you find the problem it may be a fuse or wire connection causing it. It is unlikely that a wire will burn out on a low powered appliance like lights, but if that is the issue you can use the 10 gauge wire # 10-1-1 to replace it.
