How to chance/repair Marker Light

[Rob Myers]

Can anyone give me a tip on how to remove a yellow, marker light on my 16 DBS camper,  i found the wires hanging lose after a trip for a from lower marker light ,  Im not sure how to remove the light 'lense' to repair or reattach the wires that were haning lose (white and black wire) .  I assume it either snaps in...but not sure and I don't want to snap or break it by using force.   any tips  will help.   

Also i have a speaker light, that lights up blue when you turn this on at night underneath where the canopy is.  the blue light failed to come on the other night, one of two lights,  i guess i have to pull this speaker cover off to determine the problem. anyone experience this ?
thanks
Rob.

The lens snaps off if you pry up around the edges assuming it is the same as on our 2013 16TBS. See the pic below of the back of the base with the lens off. Screw the base back on the camper and snap the lens back on.

Can't help you with the other questions.

Welcome to the forum! After you use DavidM's technique for prying off the lens and unscrewing the base, use a good quality electrical connector (crimp-type with heat-shrink insulation) to keep the wires in place permanently. Re-attach the base with a good sealant (silicone is fine for this) to keep water out of the bulb connector.

Thanks David, thats what i did after a closer look, there was sealant all around the the edge of the light so it appeared initially that there was no way to loosen it up but   it did when i started on the lower corner,.  it appears the wires wore/broke off where they went through the metal siding.  it was sharp and the wires broke from vibration i'm guessing.     So i'm repairing now and should be all set thanks for our help guys.

I don't cotton to crimp splices. I soldered the new wires, then sealed with waterproof heat shrink.

Pro tip: splice in a longer section of wire and stuff it back through the hole so in the future you have more wire to work with on the next replacement.

While you have access to the hole, take a round file and knock that knife edge down, then put some electrical tape in there. The liquid electrical tape stuff is great for this. It functions as a grommet in the hole.
