In the external panel, beside the steering wheel, there is under a switch written "Cabin". Does this specific switch has anything to do with the cabin lights switch in the (fuse?)control panel?

My main problem is that the cabin lights wont work, exept for the two that is located in the sleeping area, under the cockpit.
So far i have found out, that somewhere there is a ground problem, cause when i ground the lights by another cable direct to the battery, the lights work just fine.
I also asked from Chris-chraft if they still have the Amerosport's wiring diagram left, but the answer was negative.
Does anyone know of a another place, where there might be a chance that they have managed to save the diagram's for future use?

A switch labeled "cabin" would very likely be for the cabin lights, especially if some of the cabin lights come on when the switch is on. If the other lights work when you ground them, then ground them. Lights need a complete circuit from battery POS, through the fuse, to the switch, to the lamp(s), to ground (back to the battery).
