Help; 97 Adventur - Maps light not working

[TXfreeze]

Bulbs are not burnt either fuse or wiring, can't figure out why fuses are, manual doesn't say any thing, where is the vehicle fuse block, what amp fuse is it? Thanks

Are you able to voltmeter test it to see if you're getting power to the bulb?

Yes, just did and getting 12.5 volts current on both, so I guess both bulbs are shot even though the filament looks fine. Also one of the dash 12 volt lights plugs has no current, How do I find the auto fuses? Thanks

One place to look is in the front of the coach under the hood. There is likely a distribution box with some relays and fuses.

The dash is on hinge and swings up. Fuses should be under there.

There is a box “solenoids and relays” it has screws. I didn’t figure it for a fuse box.

I’m not sure I understand where I should look.

Replaced the bulbs but still not working, only gets current when grounding on screw, seems like a grounding problem, anything I can do to fix it? Switches seem to work with no issues.

Yah, clean the socket and make sure the ground wire if there is one is connected to proper ground.and that should take care of it. If the ground wire is not grounded should be a lug, maybe on frame close to batteries. You know a ground lug.

I can’t follow the grounding wire from the Map Light, I looked for a grounding lug by the battery but all I saw was the white wire on one of the house batteries, please take a look at the attached photos. Thanks

Here are some dash pics

Yup! the instrument cluster part of the dash will swing up. The fuse block is under the dash. cluster.
