I tried replacing the little #921 bulbs and they still wont come on. Are the any special breakers for the lights ? Any other way to check them? Thanks

Check the automotive type 12 volt fuses in your breaker box/ fuse panel, you may have a blown fuse.

your RV will have a mix of fuses and breakers usually in the same location. With a multimeter you can test both light bulbs, wiring and fuses. If you are looking to test the bulb you can place it in another socket and see if it works there. The problem could also be faulty of bad wiring, bad switch etc. Are the bulbs that don't work on the same circut as ones that do? Is there a switch for them on the fixture or the wall? The small lights would be on a fuse as they are 12v but likely all lights in that section of the RV are on teh same one so if just some don't work likely something else is the cause.

Those bulbs only go in 1 way. Turn it around if it doesn't light. If it still doesn't light take a pen and move the wire inside so it's in the center.

Are you sure the lights aren't also controlled by a wall switch?

How long have you had the RV? Are you sure these are not the ones that work only when the RV is plugged in or on a generator? The lights in my slide only worked on 110v.....

All the fuses are good. I just checked them with a meter.
I do think I have checked all the wall switches.But, I will check again. The RV is hooked up to 120vac ,but i thought the inverter worked all these lights.
Two of the lights that are not working are on the slide out, but there is another there on the slide that does work.
The third light that is not working is up forward in the bedroom,over the fifth wheel area.
