Looks like line coming out of the middle goes through some some of noise suppressor. Not sure if that's standard or was added at some point. Does the stock audio have that?

Mystery solved.

So what these <insert your own noun> did was the following

They removed the reading lights from the bottoms of the open shelves, I guess there used to be 4 and mounted these speakers where two of the lights were. I am not sure why they didn't replace the original speakers instead of running new wires, etc. Maybe that had the speakers, maybe they sold the lights to buy the speakers :twisted:

But in doing so, they cut the exposed part of the wiring and wire-nutted them with the insulation intact :roll: which cut the electricity to all 6 of the lights underneath the open shelves as well as the two below the ones with doors.

I ordered new speakers for the front, as well as a new stereo, would like to be a little more modern and use bluetooth vs auxiliary input which the current stereo was using. I will likely replace the rear speakers at some point but its not a priority now.

Does anyone have a source for the replacement reading lights? Was thinking of getting these https://www.campingworld.com/gustafson- ... 24420.html

Glad you got it figured out. As long as the lights are 12v, you can use any you want. The ones you posted look nice though.
