We have a 2023 22MLE, and after a particularly rough ride through highway construction zone, the front section of ceiling lights stopped working along with the over-bed lights, motion sensor light over the main entry door, and the exterior awning light. The rear section of ceiling lights are still working. Given that all of the ceiling lights are on the same circuit and the rear half are still working, and the over bed lights and awning light are on different circuits, I am suspecting an open ground that is common to all of them. Given the quality of crimps I have found elsewhere in the unit, frankly I was expecting something like this to happen sooner or later.
I am trying to pull down the puck lights out of the ceiling to check the connections. It seems like it should be simple enough to do but I am stumped how to get them out of their holes. I can pull down far enough to see the two spring clips that hold them up. I've searched and found youtube videos of older style, larger diameter (4-5") puck lights with similar spring clips that just tilt out. These are a smaller diameter (about 3") lights and I've tried all manner of tilting this way and that and I cannot get the clip to clear the edge of the hole. Not sure what else to try without hyper-extending/breaking a clip or cracking the ceiling. What am I missing? Thanks.
