To answer the question: SHORE LINE could never get this to come on,
When replacing the lamp (lamp lens, & socket as a molded assembly) years ago on a 1989 Newell, It was discovered the assembly was 120V rather then 12V. Maybe the later models still use 120V for the shore power indicator? I am not aware of any wedge base lamps available in 120V but if a resistor was used to lower the voltage to 12V so the wedge base would work might have been Newell's approach. The voltage would be correct however, it is an AC voltage rather than DC which might explain why it didn't work.
Like the new generation paraphrases "I'm just saying" ??
