    As said, check the battery sw. near the front door first. If on, pull it and check for voltage on both sides of the sw. or disconnect and check for continuity with an ohmmeter.

    Ever see arc welding ?
    That IS a controlled short circuit
    That is what a short circuit does it melts wire, it blows fuses, it burns things

    You have an OPEN circuit, an interruption in the delivery of power

    ok I have power up to front circuit board/fuse board from the house batteries my other fuse box in the back bedroom I have power there for the ac but not for the line of fuses that control the interior lights, so I going to follow bed room line to find short or if there is a junction block in between

    Turn the house battery disconnect switch back on by the front door.

    what front circuit board? sounds like that is on the chassis/starting battery

    there should be a direct line between the batteries and the DC power center
    aka 12v fuses
    you have blown the battery fuse for the DC power center or the have a bad connection somewhere
