sounds like a bad plug or light, or if a lamp ur gfc could be tripped, look in bathroom and kitchen for it, or if overhead lights and u did state LIGHTS, then bad breaker.....

Hi.. I would suggest you to call a professional electrical service provider in your area. As, handling electrical wires alone can be a risky one.

If your Mobile is an older model it may have aluminum wiring and it is easy for it to loosen at an outlet. The wiring may be in series along a wall and if an outlet goes bad or the wire comes loose then everything beyond that point is dead. Check your outlets to see if you can determine if there is an electricl burning odor. I live in a Mobile and that has happend to me 3 times. I do my own maintenance and am constantly checking the aluminum wiring. I plan on repacing it all some day. There is a reason it isn't used any more. It flexes too much and works itself loose at connections. A/C means just that. Alternating Current. That means the wire is vibrating at 60 cycles per second and aluminum can't handle it in the long term.

Of course if you live in a late model one then do as suggested. Check your GFI switch.

Try checking the GFCI outlets in the bathrooms -- if there is something plugged into them, remove it. If the RESET button is popped out... push it back in.

After checking all the bathroom and kitchen GFCIs, then if you still have no lights, recheck the breaker box... check each circuit breaker.

Good Luck.

Could be defective; light bulb,fixture/s,or open wireing.Do you know how you are wired.If so just follow and fix.If not best call an electrician they have things called "fox and hound" that tones out a circuit.

Check for a plug location that has a G.F.I.C. recepticle and try pushing the button on it.
