main 30a circuit breaker problem

I just installed a new overhead ceiling fan switch, and turned the main 30a circuit breaker to my 30 ft fifthwheel off before I did the work. Problem is that I cannot get the circuit breaker to turn back on. There is 120v power to the circuit breaker. I unhooked the fan switch I just installed just in case. Nothing. Has breaker gone bad? anyway to reset it?

    Will the 30A breaker reset if you turn all the other breakers off?

    bad switch maybe? Even if it's new, could be bad. Something is shorting out somewhere, causing the breaker to not set. Since the only thing you've done (it appears), is swap the switch, that's where I'd start.

    Edit: I missed the fact that you disconnected the switch. So, perhaps a short in the fan itself?

    Try clicking it all the way over the opposite direction of clicking it on then click it to the on position.
