I have a 2015 T660 which has three amber tell-tail light as well as a white/red one at the top rear, on each side. None of them are working when I turn the lights on but the rear sidelights are ok. Is there a fuse for these anywhere? The Fiat handbook doesn't cover the coach built stuff and the Burstner handbook only seems to cover the interior electrics. I've put a call out to the dealer but not heard yet. Suspiciously all the side tell-tails were changed recently as they were letting in water. This is the first time I've tried the lights since they were changed!
 
I had a similar problem on my Aviano. After removing the faulty light the connectors were still inside the body work a gentle pull and i had enough cable to disconnect. What i didnt know i hsd done was disturbed the a few other connections.
On mine there is a piece of trim in the rear locker fixed to the back wall this hides all the side light cables. Its piece of grey plastic about 70mm x 300mm.
 
Have a look near your end (assuming you have schaudt electrics of course) there is probably a small interface block with fuses on it which control the additional side marker lights.

I had this on my Fiat based Chausson. On mine inside the drivers side seat belt cover at the base. Take cover off and should find a relay in the circuit. This can sometimes be the issue, but look carefully. On mine hidden behind the relay was an in line fuse holder. Looked like a rubber button to be honest only when took the top off found a fuse. It is a 5amp fuse replaced mine and worked Had been an issue on mine as found circuit diagrams in the van where previous owners had had the problem. None of the diagrams showed either the relay or the fuse holder!
Hope it helps
Good luck

on my burstner they are joined to the electrics under the rear floor so i assumed they run on same circuit as the sidelights if they been replace might be worth checking underneath

Thanks for all your replies. I'll get poking around tomorrow.
 
Had similar troubles on mine, fixed it in the end, but shoddy craftsmanship at time of assembly.

Hope you find the problem.

Top man Dave! That's exactly what it was. A 5A fuse had gone. Saved me a lot of hunting around. Many, many thanks!
 
Now you lie away asking yourself WHY ?
I expect it was the dealer when they changed the side marker lights (they all had water in them!!). Probably shorted a couple of wires together and failed to test the lights afterwards (surely not!). I'll keep an eye on them in case it was something a bit more suspicious like a couple of wires chaffing.
