Help me find a fuse

I posted last week about my steps not working any longer. I found it was the controller. I bought a new controller, gear box and motor kit from PPL motorhomes. I installed it today and all is well, except the step lock-out switch. I am not getting any power to that switch and I should have 12 volts with the switch ON (zero volts with the switch OFF). I ran a 12 volt jumper to it and the step lock out works fine with that jumper so I know it's the wire somewhere.

One other thing I found and may be related, is I have no lights in my bays. All of them are out. I am guessing there is a fuse that controls the power to the steps and the bay lights. I CAN'T FIND IT.

1994 Allegro Bus D/P. I've checked all fuses under the fridge (about 6 or 8 fuses), in the dash (10 or more), inside the genset compartment (4 up there) and in the bay with my converter (4 in there). I checked them with a meter and those fuses are good.

Now where else do they hide fuses? I wish they would tell you where all fuses are located.
  • Just throwing this out there since its been awhile since I worked on my steps but isn't there a Fuse in the wiring down underneath near the steps. I seem to remember prying open some type of plastic holder that wires passed thru that either had a fuse in-line or some other fashion of connector....I'll crawl under tomorrow to try and verify exactly what I'm referring to.

    enblethen, I'll check in the battery bay. This is a diesel pusher so there is no "under the hood". There are four re-settable fuses in the gen-set area.

    Mr. Mark, I don't think there are any Ground Fault plugs for my 12 volt system.

    Will do booty51. Most of mine are labeled. The ones in the dash and under the fridge are anyway.

    I can run a hot wire to the step lock-out switch and make it work but that won't get my bay lights back.
