Lost my front clearence lights

Anyone know how they run down from the top ? I got a chewed wire somewhere...Little !@#* mice.\nWhen I catch one it will be tortured to a slow death. I just had to replace the wire going from the dinette outlet to the kitchen counter outlet due to mouse damage. :x

Dang, you're having some bad Travco luck lately. Wish I could help but I have never messed with my front clearance lights.

I was diagnosing all my running lights and found them all corroded and basically toast at the light. Mine are the two wire type with a ground that goes into the coach and is connected somewhere. I can't imagine pulling the whole front fiberglass piece off from above the cockpit to inspect. I bought all new lights and will test them one by one and let you know.\n\nI can access (sort of) behind the front interior piece through the storage areas behind the visors but there is not a whole lot of room in there.\n\nRobC

I have a bundle that comes down the driver side (speaker wire, presumably the running lights also) and also a bundle that runs from the House DC panel by the door up to near the forward vent then forward behind the fiberglass. There is a rat's nest of wires in the storage bins and some insulation. I need to get back on the roof and pull the wire and see which ones move in side.\n\nMy two reading lights above the seats work but they are wired to the DC panel for the house. An afternmarket fan on the drivers side also works off the house DC pane;
