Cougar landing gear fuse.

While raising the jacks on my 5th wheel, I went too high and blew a fuse. Problem is, I can't find it (the fuse). I have a 2011 Cougar lite. :h
  • Painting it is a more permanent solution, duct tape may come off during your travels.

    This is what I did. Never did get around to using an auto-reset fuse. But having a warning mark pretty much eliminates the problem.

    Assuming it is like my Cougar, it is an inline fuse holder, with a plastic cover. Open the cover and find a blade fuse inside. I've blown mine a couple of times.

    Looks like this. It is the little black module dead center in this pic.


    Had the same problem with my cougar. Once I found it I kept a supply of fuses on hand. Then I bought a reset-able fuse from Amazon.(Bussmann (BP/CB211-30-RP) 30 Amp Type-I ATM Mini Circuit Breaker) It auto resets and it wasn't that expensive.

  • Yes, I found it. Blew a few more fuses until I realized my jack was at the end of its range. Thanks.

  • When you find it, if it is a standard fuse replace it with an automatic reset fuse. Less than $5.
  • Could be an in-line or could be a dc circuit breaker........probably 30A

    CB could be like this. May have a small button on side to reset.

  • Follow the wires from the landing gear switch. They run directly to the battery from the switch and there should be an in line fuse on the positive wire.
