Front, outside light

Hello,

I bought a 2006 Crossroads Zinger and noticed that the light on the front by the battery and LP tanks doesn't work. It isn't the bulb and I'm more than capable of fixing or replacing it, but am I missing something silly that needs to be on for it to work?

Thanks.

I have experienced the same thing with the front outside light.
It seems to be in the switch. I have sprayed it with WD-40, and then worked the switch and it has taken care of the problem. Apparently there gets to be a little corrosion there.

Have had the same issue. The switch gets wet from road spray and corrodes. I have done what Lloyd stated and also replaced the light assembly over the years. I get replacements from my local Ace Hardware.

I too had several sticking switches and used a dry type lube to unstick.
Now all work well and easy to operate.

I have problems with mine periodically. I spray contact cleaner on the switch, and that seems to help.

You guys were all right on point with your diagnosis. I played with it a bit this afternoon and got it working.
