TV lights on=no lights on AS

Here's a new one for me. Yesterday I hooked up the AS to do some work on it before we headset in a few weeks and hooking up the electrical connector showed everything working normally. Directionals, brake lights, hazards, brakes, all working, Although brake lights and hazards did seem a little dim but they were functioning. I turned on the trucks lights and boom no running lights on the truck, and no directionals, brake lights, hazards on the AS.

The only thing that changed from the last time we took it out last year was the truck battery was changed out.

This one complexes me. Any ideas out there.

Sounds like you blew a fuse in the TV and have a problem in the coach with the ground/common side of the circuit.
You could also have a problem on the +12 volt side of the marker/tail light circuit in the coach. Since everything you listed as working has to do with the brake/turn signal circuit. The dimming of those lights indicates a bad connection. Either on the ground/common side or the plus side of the circuit.

Thanks for the reply,
Check this TV for a blown fuse is easy enough.
My guess is that it would be the ground directly from the 7 pin connection since the running lights are not working and they used to. But, 12v problems are my weakest are to figure out/find/solve.
