Slide blows fuze
2017 Forest River Surveyor RKS251. This should be under warranty, but have to haul it 100 miles to repair. So, am searching for help with my problem. The slide (u booth) blows the fuse when being towe...

wnjj: That is exactly what it appears that the switch does. Before testing today I checked the voltage at the battery and at the electric fuse/breaker panel. The voltage was the same, 13.22v. Pulled the fuse and rechecked for voltage at the red/white wires on the switch, it confused me because I got 8.71v. Must be a capacitor in there somewhere. Pulled all 6 wires off the rocker switch and started checking for continuity. With switch in the 'out' position there was continuity between the red/green and white/blue positions. With the switch in the 'in' position there was continuity between the red/blue and white/green positions. So the switch is switching polarity to the green/blue wires. So, do the green/blue wires go to the motor? If so,that means the hot wire from battery goes thru the fuse panel to the rocker switch and then to the motor. Others have said the motor should be connected directly to the battery (probably for best direct connection and function. Does Forest River have a better idea? So, thinking out loud, if the hot + red wire and white - wire go to the switch first and the switch functions by reversing the polarity to the green/blue wires, then my short problem should be between the fuse and the rocker switch. Right? or wrong?
