Interior lighting

   Evening all. First post here.
I’m working through some issues on our 1988 Westfalia Joker and the next on the list is a dodgy light above the sink. The left hand one works fine but the right hand one won’t. Put a multimeter to the supply and I’m only getting 6v to it when I get 12v to the other two.

Any thoughts on what might be causing the drop in voltage to it?

	what happens to the voltage if you disconnect the wires from the light ?

	I’m testing the voltage from the wires rather than the light. From more searches tonight I think I need to take the top of the tray off and check the connections
