Basement "dome" lights inoperable

[Notanlines]

All of a sudden the lights in the basement won't work. There is no fuse in the main panel which is out. Any ideas where a fuse might be that would control these three lights?

The switches in the basement, at least in my last 2 units, are not actually 3 way switches. Not the switch on the actual light, but the one below it. You should find 1 nthat if it is off, will prevent all of them from working. Just experiment a little with the positioning. Not the best plan but that's what you have to work with. Good luck.

Fuse is in the fuse panel and should be (maybe) marked correctly. If someone accidentally turned the light off by the switch on the fixture itself, then neither remote switch will work.

Notinlines, You may find a problem similiar to mine. Your problem is with 12 volt DC circuits and mine was with a AC circuit.
The wiremen installed 3 wires on a post made for two. Bumping down the road loosened one wire. This happened at the device closest to the Breaker Box and in your closest to Fue Panel.

Our rig has two switches but they are not ‘2 way’ switches.

They are ‘on-off-on’ switches. If one switch is in the off position the other switch will not work.

I'll have a response in a few hours. The week-end is over and time to fix something....or at least that's the word I got from DW.:rolleyes:

Let me change this to read "operable." I have never noticed the black MASTER switch below the regular switch. Just when one gets to the age of
"There isn't much else to learn....":)
Many thanks to all!

“Master switch” ?

What year and model?

[OCB]

I'm Betting the Master Switch is the wall switch below the light that also has a switch.

We have two wall switches, one on each side.
The lights have switches, which we leave on all the time.

Wall switches control all 3 lights. But the switch has to be in the up or down and not in the middle position for the ‘other side’ to work.

[Notanlines]

Clay, you would be correct.
