Question Bathroom florescent light 1989 Excella

Hi everyone,

I just bought my first Airstream. It's a 32 ft 1989 Excella 1000 with the rear bedroom and side bath. I am currently making some upgrades and found a fluorescent light in bathroom that is above the window and behind a mirror. I can't find the switch that operates this light. It is hardwired into the wall, but the wires don't get any power, so I suspect that I'm missing a switch somewhere. The switches I can see are the vanity light (rocker switch with "high-off-low"), water pump rocker switch, and water heater rocker switch. Does anyone know where the switch that sends power to this light is located?

The vanity rocker switch with the Hi-Low is also the switch for the florescent light. I think the florescent is supposed to be on in both positions. The trailer is in Fl and I am not so I cannot check. It is not uncommon for these switches to have some dead spots. We have the same trailer and at least three high low rocker switches that only work on one side. Have not found a source for an exact replacement.

Sorry everyone... I'm an idiot. I totally forgot I was dealing with 12v power, not 110v. I installed a 110v LED light bar. No wonder it wouldn't work. In my defense, the old light fixture was bad... ended up being a red red herring.
