12-VOLT FUSE PANEL

fuse sizes, positions and the components
powered. At the beginning of camping
season, inspect all the 12-volt fuses and
replace as needed.
Replacing a fuse
Replacement fuses must be of the same
voltage, amperage rating and type. Never
use a higher rated replacement fuse; doing
so may cause a fire by overheating the RV
wiring.
Before replacing a
fuse, always turn “off” the
electrical component(s) protected by it.
1. Disconnect the shore power cord.
2. Disconnect the RV auxiliary battery main
negative battery cable.
3. Remove the fuse panel cover to check
fuses.
4. Pull the fuse straight out of the fuse block.
If the fuse is not blown, something else
must be causing the problem. Please
contact your dealer for further assistance.
