Since the red light is on after you replaced the fuse, that new fuse must have immediately blown when you inserted it. That would indicate a dead short somewhere.

I’m with Dutch. I use WD-40 on a lot of things I don’t need a heavier lube for. Never seen any sign of it attracting dirt. Any thin lube is going to need replaced periodically.

If you are measuring 12 volts at the pins in the lamp socket then it sounds like the switches are working. Voltage should go thru the switch to reach the socket. Since you apparently do have voltage...

Those little pushbutton switches on those 120 vac fixtures are not high quality. Mine started acting up and I replaced the switch and it worked fine afterward. Same with my 12 vdc light fixtures.

My 2007 was just like Carl’s picture. I always opened that window if the weather was mild enough for the fresh air. Often stayed open until time to travel again.
