I hope this is a small problem, we have a 2006 Pat. Thunder.
I am unable to turn on one of my overhead lights when I touch the light control switch.
The switch is part of a panel of 6 switches that includes the Aqua Hot controls. All of the other switches work if you touch any of these they will light up and operate correctly, but this one will not light up or turn on the light.
It seems like its not making any contact I am not sure how to repair this.
Joel's Idea about the fuse was right on but without a schematic and legend it's near impossible to track down a circuit.
I did try the fuses one at a time and was unable to locate a problem, so I gave up and called Monaco for help.
I would really like a printed fuse legend for each fuse block, this should locate the fuse and the fuse numbers and the circuit.
It should be in the owners manual but guess what! IT"S NOT.
I was unable to get this schematic from Monaco nor from beaver coach sales. BUMMER we have 5-6 fuse blocks and the have no descriptor identifier to aid in trouble shooting.
With the help of Monaco I did do a quick trouble shooting of the problem and it turns out that I had a simple switch face plate failure. I found 3 points of the 4 fastening points had broken the face plate, the screws hold the face plate and the circuit board and the Cover plate just snaps over the top ( I had notice that the switch felt very soft when depressed)
The REPAIR I did the repair by removing the face plate from the cover plate, then I removed all 4 screws from the circuit board (3 broken) to the face plate. I then did a quick super glue repair to the face plate, I also reinforced the screw studs with nylon thread wrapped around each screw post this I then coated with more glue.
After I put it all back in place everything is working fine. If anyone does this repair be sure to let the glue harden for a good period of time you would not want this to stick to the circuit board. -- Regards, Jerry

Jerry-
Didn't you get the large yellow Wiring Diagram book with the coach? Our Monterey's has a couple of pages of Multiplex DC diagrams, including which 10-Channel Module wires go where.
If you don't have it, perhaps another '06 Patriot owner here would be willing to scan the Multiplex pages in his book (and any other pages you could use) and email them to you.
