2012 Lance 950S with no power to the TV, antenna, or radio/CD player. Everything else works. All fuses seem to be good, although I am going to replace them tomorrow to be sure. I replaced the broken antenna (don't ask) but don't think I interrupted any power. Any ideas? BTW, the problem is the same whether on battery or shore power.TIA J Shiv

Fuses "seem to be good"? The little plastic fuses are hard to tell when blown without removing them for inspection or probing both sides. Since it really sounds like one is blown, I would check them more closely.

Thanks - I have pulled them out and looked at them over a strong light - nonetheless, one of 'em might be fooling me. Any other suggestions???

Check voltage at the terminal next to the fuse where the wire connects.(With fuse in place)

The voltmeter comes out tomorrow. The fat man lays on the floor and tries to stay out of his own light. The fuse box requires me to lay on my belly and look forward. If the fuse is blown, why was it? The dealer loves guys like me.

Put your meter on the resistance measurement scale to verify your fuses outside of the holder (there is no polarity when measuring your fuse). Is your fuse box labeled with function/destination of each fused line?

If you're going to the extreme of pulling and and checking the fuse with a meter, why not just use a test light and check both sides of the fuse for power? Wouldn't that be satisfactory and simpler than pulling all the fuses checking the continuity and then reinstalling them?

I always assume I did something wrong. So same here with something with the work done must have gotten crossed up. You can swap the suspect fuse with another circuit for testing.
