RaymagHow do you turn on the compartments lights?
I've looked at every switch but can't find the one that turn on the compartment lights. Where is it?
Also, I tought that the clear acrylic door handle was lighted. When is it turned on? Either I haven't found the switch yet or the bulb is burned out.
I'm still trying to discover all of my Barth's secrets.

RustyIf you mean basement lights, on my Breakaway there's a switch marked with a scrunched-up oval at the top on the instrument panel. The door handle is one of the cluster of switches by the door, and IIRC, it's marked "GL".

olroyMy compartment lights also have their switch on the dash, & the door handle light is one of the mystery switches on the wall next to the door.

RaymagI have a switch labelled GL by the door. That must be it then. It doesn't do anything, so that means that the lightbulb is probably burned out. I guess it's just a matter of removing the screws that hold the handle to gain access to the bulb?

RustyDon't know - mine works...but I would think that's the key, but I don't know if the bulb is at the top or bottom, but I'd guess top.

RustyOn my Breakaway, the light switches are in three different spots:
-Instrument panel (left section)
-Cluster by foor
-Overhead control panel (has switches for outside floodlights, water heater, water pump, etc.
There's a possibility the circuit breaker has popped also, or if you're just checking one compartment, that bulb is burned out.
