    Hey guys and gals, I'm in a 2015 Cascadia Evo and the sleeper reading light (in the corner) went out about a month ago or so. I barely stop moving for more than the mandatory down-time, so I've put it off (its a reading light and I don't read much in bed on anything that isn't backlit). I replaced the bulb, which fit loosely despite being the same type of bulb, but nothing happened.

    I can't find anything in the owner's manual that mentions it specifically on the fuses and relays list, so I wondered if any of you have run into this. I figured I'd ask here before dealing with company breakdown, since it's barely a minor issue; nothing else but that light has gone out/stopped working, so I assumed it has its own fuse.

    Thanks ya'll and keep the shiny side up.

    A bump but..

    The sleeper switch panel is apparently cheap and goes bad frequently. I lost my reading light followed by the 1 dome light shortly after, the switches themselves were going bad.

    Loose connection some where. I don't think its got fuse for it. Its multiplex wiring and controlled from same controller as rest of your interior lights.

    My reading light does the same thing. I can tap the light or the wall next to the switch to get it to come on... and a dome light that does whatever it wants.
