exterior lights
I have a 2004 31C, and it has these exterior lights around the lower skirt, but for the life of me I can not find a switch to turn them on. I have an outside light by the door and a switch on the inside to turn that one light on but none of the ones on the lower skirt seem to work off of that switch. Can some one out there who has knowledge about the 31C clue me in on how these work. By the way they all 4 of them have amber lenses like the one by the door.
Thanks
TC

TC, this is probably a dumb question, but you've determined they are not "running lights", right? And, another dumb question, they aren't just reflectors are they?

There are no dumb questions....only dumb answers....however, you are correct Jack, they are neither running lights or reflectors. They look just like the outside light by the door only there are 4 of them. One near each corner of my trailer, and they do contain bulbs. I just can't figure how to turn them on.

Is there, by any chance, a switch on the bottom side of the light?

My 2001 HiLo had two exterior amber lights on the rear lower skirt. They supposedly were there to assist in backing into a site at night. They were controlled by a switch located next to the master 3-way switch. Maybe the factory added the up front lights due to the length of your unit.

Bob, you were right! Mystery solved but also there are only 2 lights not 4 on my trailer, and the switch was where you said it would be. Thanks for your help!

Mystery Switch found outside
OK I have another mystery switch this time the switch is located under the front of the lip of the top shell next to the left awning bracket. I have turned it on and off with my trailer unhooked but with 110 AC shore power plugged in but it doesnt seem to do anything when I switch it back and forth. Does anyone know what this does? Photos will correctly orient when clicked on

When you say you're plugged in to shore power, are your interior lights working? I ask this because it looks like the switch controls a 12V DC circuit. My first thought is that it controls a porch light.
Could it possibly control a light near the tongue jack?
I'm actually mystified, it's in the upper half and on the exterior. That tells me it should be controlling something that's outside, and available with the top up.

That switch controls the amber center light above your front window with the top up or down and your master switch inside the coach must be on for the light to illuminate. You may have a light bulb burned out.
