We have optronics interior lights. https://www.etrailer.com/RV-Lighting/Optronics/RVILL34.html?feed=npn&gclid=CN-9gY2wuNQCFQmUaQod2bILUg One's not working when switched 'on', but LEDs have a lifetime warranty so I ASSUME it's the fixture. Is there a quick/cheap way to check this or should I just go ahead and order a replacement fixture? Also, I am totally amateur, any words of wisdom about replacing one of these? Thanks for any help.

| If it's not working and never worked before it could be something as simple as a bad connection. Take the fixture off and check that all the wires are firmly attached to their connection points. don't worry, you won't electrocute yourself, even if you touch bare wires. Do, however, be careful not to touch the wires that feed the fixture together. If you do, there will be a scary but harmless spark and you will blow the fuse. Not dangerous, but inconvenient |

Physical inspection, one light not working is indicative of bad connection, check light that is bad first. It is 12 volt powered, do you have a voltmeter? In case connections look good. I have a Craftsman clamp on ammeter, with multimeter functions that has been a lifesaver, when it comes to figuring out power issues. ------------- Mike Carter 2015 178 " I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability." |

I had one not working, unscrewed it and one of the terminals wasn't Crimp​ed properly, re crimped it, put put it back on and it worked great. Hope yours is that easy! You may have to chase it down line to the previous fixture and check that one.
