hi charl and welcome....

i think we may need a bit more info.

are the lights original to the motorhome or an extra fitment or part of a fancy tv casing. ?

recessed downlights or swivel type eyeball lights. ?

would it be possible to take and download a photo.

Hi All

The lights in question are part of the drop down tv console in the cab
I think they are supposed to come on when you open the cab doors but they dont
i have have fiddled with the switch and checked the bulbs they are ok

may be wrong ;but isn't the dropdown tv powered from where the psu unit is and for it to work two switches need to be on. maybe then the two lights will work.

ignor my earlier post

are these the two lghts you refer to Link Removed

The light will not work as they are not wired to any live supply. It is the same on ALL Autotrails with that stlye of drop down TV with lights.:Sad:

Not quiet true if you take the right hand light lens cover off and look just infront of the bulb you will see a little switch turn this on.
It worked on my Autotrail miami but does not work on all Autotrails.

two
lights on tv monitor

I have a 2009 tracker and when I purchased it the dealer told me they were not wired to work ( so why fit them autotrail) it must be easy to install the wiring to the lights during manufacture. To make things worse the cab lights canot be switched on only by opening the door,yet another thing they cant get sorted:shout:.come on autotrail listen to your customers and get things right.

We had the same problem when had a new unit fitted.. need to take off right hand light cover and there is a switch behind which maybe in the off position.
Hope this solves your problem.

My Miami drop down tv has a slider switch on the side, on/off/doors so is easy.
