I'm new to the LQ horse trailer world, recently purchased a 2001 Silver Star Sprinter which is in really great shape for its age. We just replaced the lightbulbs, all the lights work off the switches but one switch seems to turn nothing on. There are 4 light switches beside the entry door one for exterior, one for kitchen, one for bed the 4th???? Anyone know what it could be to? All switches for fridge, stove, water etc are by those units.

RTSmith - 2020-08-15 7:34 AM Maybe lighted grab handle on the outside?
If you have a lighted handle, test it at night as they can be difficult to see in the day time.
The bulb in those lighted grab bar handles can burn out but are relatively easy to replace.
The link below shows one of the common types of lighted handles so you can see how it disassembles. The light in this type of handle is in the top mounting piece. Newer ones have LED bulbs. Older ones have the old style bulb but it can be replaced with an LED replacement bulb if you want. The LED bulbs are a much lower power draw bulb.

It took me a while to figure out that fourth switch on my new trailer, too. Turns out it is for the horse / tack area lights. Tricky part... there is a little recessed toggle switch at the back end, on the tack side, that turns on those lights ONLY IF the main switch inside the LQ is on. So both switches have to be in the ON position for the lights to work. Or the lights themselves may have a separate on/off switch on each fixture.
