Check fuses that power lights......although usually more than one DC light fixture is connected to a single fuse. Any other DC lights not working?
The next simplest problem might be a bad ground connection at the light fixture “if” the fixture is fed 12vdc with a single wire (from the light switch) and chassis ground provides a return path from the fixture or a short wire under a screw in the ceiling space located near and connected to, the fixture. On a movable slide, that may not be a preferred way to wire the light.
Next simplest is if the light on/off switch is still working correctly. Check if the corresponding light switch has 12vdc on it and if there is continuity through the switch when operated.
It may also be possible that one or both of the DC wires that feeds the dead lights has flexed over the years and possibly broken a conductor internal to the wire outer sheath (or totally) wherever they transition from the slide to the coach. Normally there would be slack in the wiring to allow for this kind of flexible movement. The DC wiring "might" following along the same path with the AC wiring from the coach into the slide space so check under the slide for where those wires may be run.
2. The other two switches may control an awning, outside light by the door or possibly be a lock out for the electric steps (keeps them out so they do not follow the door being opened and closed).
