Interior coach lights don't work

I went inside to take some measurements yesterday and none of the interior lights worked. Both batteries have a full charge. Tried all three positions on the battery switch to no avail. Any suggestions on a systematic approach to trouble shooting would be greatly appreciated.
THANKS,

Hi Ernie, Mine did the same exact thing last year. Turned out to be just a bad fuse in my fuse panel in the back of my coach.check your fuses first,then if they are ok, you could start there with a multimeter checking that you have power to that point. then go to the switch and check for power there.If you can get power into the switch but not out, you have a bad switch. You can continue checking the circuit at each point this way. You didn't mention whether you had other 12v power appliances or not. Make sure to check them and see if your power is out to them as well.;ie;range fan, roof vent fan, 12v water pump, etc... If you have a total failure of the 12v. side of your electrical system you need to check on your converter as well.--lefty

Thanks for the help everyone. It turned out to be corrosion on the main fuse
in the converter.
