Bailey Cabrera Black Edition Internal Lights Problem

[Hitch81]

Hi. We bought a 2021 Cabrera in Sept 24,, (from a private seller) , but towed it home and stored it for the winter ( we already had our old caravan on a seasonal site). Only now (April) using the new 'van and have an oddity re the internal lighting. I can turn the "main" lighting on by depressing the indicated light switch (bottom left of the right- hand panel shown on attached photo). This also allows me to switch on the spot lights in the main area as wells as the bedroom and bathroom lights. The two other light switches (left- hand panel in photo) activate the two down lighters (LH switch) and the additional 2 lights above the storage cabinets RH switch).
The problem is when I switch off the "main" lighting switch, all other lights are non- functional. So I cannot use the bedroom or toilet area lights without switching on the "main". Therefore have to go to bed in the dark. Cannot read in bed and worst of all going to the loo in the dark. Unfortunately we know for sure that the guy we bought the 'van from never used it so cannot throw any light on problem ( excuse the pun) Can anyone offer any advice? It would be greatly appreciated.

When you say the main lighting do you mean the roof lights in the lounge?
If so they are controlled by a switch that located UNDER the high level cupboard on the left hand side of the caravan, near the front, when facing forwards. Daft location, and it took me a whike to find it on my Phoenix, but many Baileys have it!

Thanks for the reply Mr.Plod, but no these are not the ones I'm talking about. I can get all the light on, but only when the main lighting switch on the panel is activated. Conversely, when I switch this off no other lights will work

Think of the "Main" switch as a "Master lighting Switch" shutting all the lights off. You will have to switch off the lights individually.

That's exactly as it should be! It's a MASTER switch, if off tuen none of the lights will work.
If on it enables individual lights to be controlled by their individual switches.

Fully agree, so that you can have just a few lights on and if say you pop out for the evening, you switch off the MASTER switch, womble home and put the master back on to nice ambient lighting.
