yes that fuse is good, as the front power hitch works whether plugged into power or not. again, if plugged into power all is well.
Could be a 12 volt auto-reset (AKA short stop) breaker. Inline on the positive battery lead, mounted on trailer frame, near a junction box where 12 volt enters the trailer. Look for one of these. Some have a little reset button, some are auto-reset. It won't reset if it is bad, and it stops 12 volt from getting to the fuse panel. They come in various amperages and are available at most autoparts stores.
Methods to test:
1. Disconnect shore power and check for 12 volt power between the two terminals.
or
2. Disconnect shore power and battery, then check continuity between the terminals.
or
3. Disconnect shore power, check for power at your fuse panel. You should have 12 power between the two sides of each and every fuse.
Changing this breaker should be done with shore power and battery disconnected.
Power to your tongue jack, comes straight off the battery (not through the fuse panel), with its own fuse protection.
