    Check all battery connections first , second check the fuse box at the fire wall by steering shaft. Check that the hot wire is tight.

    I am having a similar issue with my 2009 Pete 386. Lost all my dome lights, floor courtesy light, and my cigarette lighter is working but not unless you play with it. Where exactly is the low voltage disconnect located? That would be a good place to start my search. All fuses are tested and good.
