What to do if some of your 12V lights stop working?

So there we were with three of our RV 12v lights not working. The first thing we noticed was all the other lights were working fine. Some light fixtures within an RV can have switches located on a control panel. For instance, the light fixture above our sofa has a switch near the steps, this is also where our 12v on/off switch is located.

Why are some of my RV 12V lights not working?

Is there an outlet for a 12 volt cigarette?
