I was just taking off from another trip out to Jumbo Rocks in Joshua Tree Ca. when my little push button wireless thing-a-ma-jig that allows me to use the jacks and the pop-outs died.I can’t find any fuses that are dead. Any ideas?

Hate to state a possible obvious...have you put fresh batteries in the remote? I know mine recently died, didn't have spare batteries with me and had to use the plug-in cord.

Is the button you are talking about the battery on/off switch just inside the door on some truck campers? From your description of a button you press to "wake everything up" it sounds like a problem in your camper 12 volt system. If it is that button and it does not light up do you have interior lights when you are not plugged in to shore power. Your 12 volt batteries in the camper may be dead.

I know what button you speak of; it lights blue when you press the button and wake it up, then a red light when you activate the remote to run the jacks or slide. If I understand right, the blue light doesn't light up when you press the 'wake' button. This comes from the control board where the overhead step is. Look under your step and there are several fuses on this board. Check them all. Also, you will see several connections there; one for the power source and several for power to each of the jacks and slide. Each as a fuse. There is also a phone line cord. This is called an RJ11 connection. Check to see it's plugged in. The other end goes to that board with the wake-up button you are pressing. If the cord or connectors are bad, the light won't light.
