Ceiling rope light

[Woody O]

My ceiling  rope light does not come on at all, so I suspect it is a connection issue. How do I remove the wall switch front plate to check the current on back of  the switch? Does it pop off?

You should have Carling switches to turn the light on. They are held in place at the top and bottom by plastic tabs. These tabs have to be compressed to remove the switch. I put my fingernails under the top and wiggle it until it frees, then do the same at the bottom. Often it comes out a little at a time, and you have to work it out. Once it's out, check the wiring etc. They are Carling switches but are proprietary to Monaco meaning the part numbers on them are Monaco specific. When ordering new ones make sure the connectors on the back match up. Best of luck...Dennis

Doesn’t the 2006 Dynasty have the Multiplex system? I thought all the switches in that system connected via master bus to the control modules in the closet area, and that all the connections to individual lights were made from there?

George, I checked the fuse in the closet and it is fine and when I depress the switch, the switch light comes on, but the none of the rope light comes on.  If the rope light starts to go bad, usually some of the rope light would light up, but I have none to light up.  Any suggestions?

Woody,

I’m not experienced enough with the Multiplex system to be much help, but I would say it’s time to break out the voltmeter. Check the output of the control module and even the fuse (they have been known to look OK)., then find the connection from the coach wiring to the rope light itself for power. It might be accessible from the roof access to the underside of the air conditioner.

Put a meter at the rope light connections.

Found it! It was a loose connection between the power cord and the two prong rope light connection. Thanks to everyone for your input.
