That wire with the 2 connectors is supposed to be always hot for that circuit to work, properly. I bet, the factory made a mistake and that isn't really a hot wire. I bet one of the 2 single connector white wires is the hot. A tech with a voltmeter could fix that very quickly.

I can tell you the steps.

Find the always hot, that wire gets 2 connectors, 1 for each switch. **Most important step

the other 2 wires would have 1 connector that goes to each switch.

The always hot is very likely the single connector wire connected to the inside light switch ;) The double connector wire is very likely the feed to the inside light that should be a single connector. The other single connector is the feed to the outside light.

That's my opinion.

Light switch Issues

Post by Bpsig » June 9th, 2020, 6:07 pm

I have a 2016 Autumn Ridge Mini Extreme 18 BHS that has a funky light switch problem. There is a dual light switch by the door that has a switch for the outside light and a switch for the inside lights. The problem is that the outside light will only turn on if the inside lights are on. I have tried re-arranging the wires on the switch but I cannot seem to get the outside light to come on independently. This is a problem when kids go to bed early but my wife and I still want light under the awning :). Anyone have any ideas on what I should try? Attached are some pictures of the wiring. The switch that has the blue connector with the white/black wire coming out of both sides of it is the switch for the outside light.
