Lighted door handle?

Have a 21 ACE 27.2. Is the clear door handle on the outside supposed to light up ?

Tuscany coaches handles light when key pad is activated or patio lights are on

House battery must be on as well

If you mean the clear grab handle to the side of the door, they aren't normally illuminated but you can buy replacements and after market kits for them.

Learned my lesson about trusting those acrylic handles in our hot tub years ago. Plastic/brittle/breaks when you least expect it. The one on our motorhome is purely decoration...

I bought a light kit but that didn’t retrofit into the existing handle like I thought, so I just bought an identical handle that came with the light. It was quick work to wire it into the step light. I really like it- lets me not bug my neighbors with a porch light, but I can see exactly where my door is when coming back in the dark.

To wire into existing light switches is easy, although maybe not straightforward. Existing light switches are typically just completing a connection on the power wire, and the light’s ground is elsewhere. You need to tap the + into the existing light switch you want to use, then tap any ground in the switch panel with the -, as there’s bound to be a non-light switch with an actual ground wire in there somewhere (usually black).

So is your ACE still for sale? Been listed for over 4 months.
