Light Problem

Hi-newbie here trying to understand the electrical system in my rv. I have a 2001 Coach House Platinum 232.
I know what caused my problem and got part of it fixed. I had a small heater going (Come on Spring) and forgot to unplug it before I plugged in my hair dryer. It shut down all plug ins. so I reset the GFCI breaker on circuit board and now all plugs work. Everything except lights everywhere. Am I understanding this right that the lights run off of 12 volt? Why would they now not work? I am plugged into AC at the moment. I unplugged from AC, and flipped my battery disconnect from on to off and on again and still no lights. Fuse? I looked at fuses and my 3 amp fuse looks elongated but not broken. Unfortunately, that is the only fuse that I don't have with me. Will pick up when I go out. My circuit board is not labeled and the electrical schematic that came with the coach is confusing. Would someone please help me troubleshoot this problem. I need to learn. Thanking you in advance.
  • No I do not have one nor know how to use one. There are two 30 amp green fuses in the circuit box. Would it be one of those? I can replace those and see if it works. Are there other fuses not located in the converter/fuse box?
  • More than likely you blew the main fuse. It will be located between the battery and where 12 volts comes in. Likely closer to the battery. Do you have and know how to use a volt meter?
