Handle Lights

[Dennis Crawford]

I have three handle lights on my 2005 Monterey; two on the inside and one on the outside.  My outside handle light still works but both the interior lights are not working.  All three are on the same switch.  I would like to hope it is the two bulbs that burned out, but that seems too coincidental.  But I would assume the wiring is in series and goes from  one inside light to the other then to the outside light.  The wiring will be impossisble to trace if it is not the bulbs.  Any thoughts.

Dennis,
Probably bulbs. Same type have the same design life so having a couple die at relatively same time is not surprising, especially when on the same circuit.

Ijust replaced my bulbs on the handles of our 2005 Patriot Thunder. I got them from BCS. The job was easy, no problems.

Had the same issue, they are all on the Porch Light circuit so from a wiring perspective if one works, they all work. Bet on the bulbs. I had two out also and new bulbs fixed the problem.

Less than $10 @ at BCS and 20 minutes changeout time.

Wow what a coincidence, just ordered some myself from ITC as the one grab handle on my entrance crapped out last week. I found them  at, http://www.itc-rv.com/product/led-replacement-for-all-lighted-illumagrip-handles   .The LED lamps look the same but I won't be able to confirm until I receive them. They were about $10.00 each plus shipping.

Just as a follow up, The LEDs came in last week. I have replaced the bad one and they are the exact replacements for the ones in my entrance handles. They are available in white (mine) , red, and blue.
