The porch light at the entry door stopped working. There is 12+ volts
at one of the 4 bulb pin sockets. Do I need bulbs (they look like
new), inverter, ballast?

After removing the 2 screws holding the fixture to the body, that
black center gromet is holding the fixture. I've pulled on it some and
it is not coming away from the coach body. Appreciate suggestions?

one almost identical to the orig. at home depot. It had a water proff
rubber boot on it. Thats what fixed mine. I think it would come out a
few inches away from the side of the caach.
hope this helps.. what year rig do you have?

Thanks Ed. Sorry about the lack of name, etc. My email is down so I
posted on the group site. Auto signature is nice.

Ed,
I went out and played with the proch light bottom switch, blue it out,
and played some more. Turns out that switch is defective, turns on the
light about one in 20 tries. I'll get a new one. Thanks again.
